At first I thought Phil was beating on a meatloaf and pretending it was a bodhran. But after reading the previous posts, I now have "Let's do the timewarp agaaaaaaaain!!" stuck in my head. Next thing you know, I'll be jumping to the right...or was it to the left? Not that it matters either way because no one will know WHY I'm doing it, and they'll think I've lost it
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent

I've been playing bodhran for about 18 years now (for fun, at sessions, and as a pro with a day job).
I have different favorites for different purposes. Grady's drums are superb for the all-around bodhran sound.
I've owned four Metloefs (Metloeves?) now. Nothing beats a smaller Metloef (12" or 14" diameter) for punching out the mid to high end. They have a surprisingly good bottom end for their size as well. Super flexible skins allow the player a huge sonic palette. Highly recommended. (Oh, my gawd, I sound like an eBay user!)

Is there a UK outlet for these drums? I'd love to take a look.
My own main drum is a lovely tunable Belgarth 16" which is built like a brick outhouse. My second favourite is a cheap Pakistani non-tunable which has an amazing skin: really flexible with patches that give loads of different sounds. Looks like a piece of cr*p but sounds great.
The Metloefs certainly look pretty. My curiosity is now officially engaged...

And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.
