Bodhran Basics Part Seven: Tips on Tippers

Thoughts on different styles of tippers, some notes on fine tuning your grip, and a demonstration of a cheap “practice pad”
I mention the "baby grip" style of holding the tipper, and that after many years of playing with my "pencil style" grip I am not particularly good at it. However you might find it more comfortable, especially if you have smaller hands than I do (most people do) and here's a great video by Nichole Fig demonstrating it a bit better than I can • How to Hold Your Tippe...

The clipboard makes a fine sounding drum with the hot rod tipper ! Thanks for the video .

Thank for the demo. I was looking for a tipper as I am new to bodhran playing.

There are a lot of options out there, and fortunately it can be pretty inexpensive to experiment with them till you find a style that really suits you

[@magickology]

Definitely helpful ideas bc with my skewer tipper its all scrape sounds... but not with my other ones
