A bodhran is kinda like an irish drum. You hold it one hand and play with the other.

If you saw titanic, when they are having a party below deck, one of the guys are playing a bodhran.

Some sites with a bodhran:

something that I found funny.

My little brothers have been fully immersed in the Marching Band culture. They know all the names Dressing, Covering, Ten Hut "shakos" West High equivalent to hats.

My little brother says instead of "drum roll please" "drum line please."
He wants to play drums.
