Geschichte

Founded in 2006, bodhrán-info slowly became one of the leading sources for anything bodhrán related. Ressource of information, a shop with individual advice and workshops with great insights.

Regular blog articles about bodhrán related subjects, that help to get some insight into the bodhrán world.

I offer lessons and workshops in Germany and Ireland. Together with Guido Plüschke I developed the BodhránWeekends and I teach regularly at other workshops. In the last years (since 2005) I had the great honour to teach at the renowned Bodhrán Summerschool Craiceann on Inis Oírr.

bodhran-info is a Hedwitschak Premium Partner. The Hedwitschak Premium Partners are closely integrated in all development processes at Hedwitschak drums. They support the development of new drum and tipper models, and the further development of existing products through their vast experience and their innovative approach. The Hedwitschak Premium Partners are Rolf Wagels and Stephan Moises.

Online Shop
All Bodhráns in our shop are made by Christian Hedwitschak. He made his way to the top of the Champions League in the last few years and his drums are in high demand by top class players all over the world.
It's with him that I developed a Signature Line model with a smooth tool-less compressor tuning system and a special treated skin (Lambegskin from the North of Ireland), which has been my favourite drum for the last couple of years: The Rolf Wagels Edition or RWE.
Christian Hedwitschak does not build drums only for the high end sector. He also provides a drum line for upcoming professionals with a smaller budget: the CoreLine starting at 240€!

Tippers, Brushes, Split Tippers and Hotrods
Most of the tippers and hotrods we carry are made by Stevie Moises, with some models, like the RWE snakewood tipper and the RWE MoGrip hotrods, created especially for us. We also have a great collection of special effect tippers, like brushes and split tippers, which are unique in their sound. Make sure you watch the video on the Brush/Split-tipper page for a good impression of the different sounds.

Bags, Accessories and Learning Material
Bags are available in two different versions in accessories. along with learning material, including books and a DVD.
