Jig Solo With FREE Downloadable Drum Notation | BodhranExpert Bodhran Lessons and Videos

Please click here to get the pdf of the drum music for page one of this bodhran solo. I thought you might like the visual aid. I am still tweaking my music notation format so I would really appreciate any feedback from you.

Would you also like to see it in proper music notation (eg. eighth notes, etc)?
H = High Pitch - Pushing In / Shortening Distance Between Back Hand And Tipper
M = Medium Pitch - Gentle Hand Pressure / Medium Distance Between Back Hand / Tipper
L = Low Pitch - Hand Just Touching But Without Pressure / Furthest Distance From Back Hand / Tipper

No wonder the billy goat's gruff -

King Puck statue in Killorglin, County Kerry, ...Image via WikipediaNo wonder the billy goat's gruff - The Irish Times - Fri, Aug 13, 2010: "IRA plots, bad weather, sinister bodhr�n rumours – King Puck has put up with a lot over the years. This year’s king, Ois�n, fared a bit better, but the revellers 60ft below had all the fun, writes KATHY SHERIDAN�
YOU’LL FIND no flies on a Killorglin goat. Or his handlers. A historian once described the Puck as the original tourist gimmick."
