Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Meinl’s 18-inch Sonic Energy bodhrán combines a Napa head with a rear wooden crossbar for supported holding and playing. The head is described as sensitive to changes in touch, moving from bright slaps to lower, heavier thuds and longer resonance. Use your hands for direct rhythmic detail, or use the supplied mallet for additional pitched and textural sounds. Its intended applications include Irish music and sound-bath work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Creating rolls, accents, and sustained rhythmic material in traditional Irish music.
- Using hands and the included mallet to vary sound-bath pulses and longer drone-like sounds.
