Don't know about the bodhran, but Paddy is apparently also a closet sax player. Word has it he also owns an accordion.

He played geetar in a skiffle band or something when he was a teenager.

Come into the light, Joseph! Give up yer aul bodhrán ways and put your hands to God's purpose, i.e pipes! You cayun be saved!

Seriously, though, I love the thump of a good bodhrán. Only those with no sense of rhythm need be afraid of them.

Rhythm? Rhythm? Personally, I've never had a need for rhythm.

In the right hands, and tastefully played, the bodhran is a great addition to a set of tunes. I think I would grow tired of hearing it on every tune, but that does depend on who's playing it.
