#DAZ 3D MODELS ON DEVIANT ART SKIN#
The skin is stretched and glued onto this hoop, and then tacked with studs to prevent ripping. The beech for the frames is steamed and bent into a ring. The goatskin is first soaked in a solution of lime sulphide to soften the hide and removes the fat and hair. Conversely, holding it over a heat source can tighten the drum. Spraying the back of the drum skin evenly with small amounts of water and rubbing it in by hand can loosen it. A fixed head can be tuned with heat and water. There are no tuning keys around the edge to alter the tension of the skin. Smaller bodhrans are considered good for learners or as a second bodhran. The traditional size of the bodhran is 46 cm in diameter and 10 cm in depth. Bodhrans are frame drums, with a single head and shallow base.īodhrans come in a variety of sizes. Other instruments in the same family are the orchestral timpani, bass drum, snare drum and tambourine. The bodhran is classified as a membranophone as it is covered with skin and as a percussion instrument since striking the head with a beater makes the sound. One theory is that it originated in Ireland and evolved from a work implement - a skin tray used to carry fresh turf from the bog for fuel - to its present musical status. Some believe it originated in Africa and came to Ireland via Spain, while others insist that migrants brought it to Ireland from Central Asia. The bodhran is one of a family of frame-style drums whose branches can be found in cultures all over the world, from America to China, Russia and Spain. It is wrist flexibility that gives the music both power and subtlety.Ĭave art from thousands of years ago shows musicians playing this type of drum. The player's grip should be firm but not tight. The tipper is held like a pen, below the centre. The player can alter the timbre and pitch by pressing the skin of the drum. The player holds the drum by the crossbars, usually with the edge resting on the forearm for support. The small bodhran's skin is worn and translucent, showing that it has been well used. The design is thought to reflect the continuity of life and a spiritual journey. Also, it is plain while the smaller bodhran is painted with a colourful line that forms a distinctive Celtic pattern. The main difference between the large and small bodhran is the pitch - the larger bodhran gives a deeper, louder sound. The small bodhran's frame is light, pale wood while the large bodhran's is heavier, dark wood. The tipper is shaped with a narrow centre and round ends. In Ireland it is played with a short double-ended stick known as a beater or tipper.

This ancient drum has a single-headed wooded frame and one side covered in goatskin. The emphasis on the sonic structure and the identity of the material showcases its influences - traditional sabar drumming meeting glitchy electronics and dub textures blending with elements of footwork and drum & bass.Bodhran, pronounced 'bow-rawn', comes from the Irish word bodhar that means haunting or dull-sounding, and that tells you something of how the drum sounds. The rhythmic propulsion of the initial recordings made by Smith and Secka at Real World, melds with a backdrop of constantly shifting sonic colors - Brierley’s deep, melodic bass lines, underpin the evolving patterns of Stevenson’s guitar which in turn, intersect with Challenger’s keyboards and the urgency of Secka’s incantations. Secka then came in to lay down vocals and it was these contributions that went on to define the final songs. The resultant tracks were shaped by Challenger in his studio (Brockley, London), fusing the new rhythm sessions with a variety of manipulated, previous recordings of the band – while also adding an array of synthesizers and a vast sample palette. The concept that emerged for this album involved combining recordings of drums and percussion (laid down at Real World Studios) with improvisatory vocalizations and a production aesthetic that pushed the band’s collective sound in a much more electronic and dub-based direction.
