There is evidence that during the Irish rebellion of 1603 (Tyrone's rebellion) the bodhran was used by the Irish forces as a battle drum[citation needed], or that the drum provided a cadence for the pipers and warriors to keep to, as well as to announce the arrival of the army. This leads some to think that the bodhran was derived from an old Celtic war drum. Sean O' Riada declared the bodhran to be the native drum of the Celts, with a musical history that predated Christianity, native to southwest Ireland.
This bodhran has a natural, fixed goatskin head with crossbar with double fixed crossbars. It's made with solid rosewood wood and comes with a rosewood tipper. Bolt tuning is hidden on the inside of the frame.
