Remo's deep shell Irish Bodhrans are 16" in diameter and are designed with a 4.5" deep Acousticon shell. Each drum is fashioned with an internal tuning system and a synthetic Bahia Bass drumhead. The Bahia Bass drumhead produces a soft attack and deep bass tones and is pliable to produce pitch bending notes. Remo's Irish Bodhran's include a hex tuning key and are called the Valencia series. The Bodhran is the historic drum of Ireland and is the primary rhythmic accompaniment for the folk music of the Emerald Isle. The Bodhran's are typically low pitched and is played with a double headed wooden mallet called a tipper, or beater.

I've wanted to learn to play the Bodhran even before I knew how to pronounce it, and now I finally have one. I have never played one before so I cannot compare it to others on the market, but it feels really sturdy and high quality. I am very happy with it.
