nach langer Zeit mal wieder ein brauchbares Büchlein:
"The Goatwhackers Guide to Rhythm" von Lucy Randall.
Der Tutor besteht aus dem Buch und einer CD mit 64 Tracks, auf der alle Übungen des Tutors zu hören sind, jede Übung langsam und dann schneller.
Lucy ist eine, die von der anderen Seite kommt: Drummerin, Percussionistin, und seit 1995 auch Bodhranspielerin. Sie hat einen sehr guten Tutor geschrieben, für mich das beste im Moment. Da ich die Dinger auch aus Überzeugung verkaufe, will ich es hier nicht über den Klee loben, ein review und Details mit Soundsample gibt es hier:

At the "Wiltshire Young Folk Awards" in 2002 Lucy and Laura took first prize, while Lucy also took the price for "best Instrumentalist" Besides teaching at Festivals and The Hammersmith Irish Centre in London, Lucy also performed with The Michael McGoldrick Big Band, James O'Grady and Alan Prosser (Oyster Band), Colette O'Leary (The Bumble Bees), Mark Doherty (River Dance) and many others. Currently she is working with Brendan Power, with whom she and Tim Edly performed on the BBC show "Later with Jools Holland"
As an Irish percussionist for over 10 years it occurred to Lucy that most Bodhran tutorials focused mainly on starting to play the drum and get into the Jig and Reel rhythms a bit, after this you where left on your own to try to find moreÂ… This inspired her to write this book and make the accompanying 64 track CD
The book starts with some general info, amongst other topics, about the role of percussion in Irish Traditional Music, when you're ready to hit the session, and more important a checklist to let you also find out for yourself when notÂ…
On page 5 the tutorial really heads off with an intro to the different basic rhythms for Reel, Jig, Slip Jig, Polka, Waltz, Mazurka, Hornpipe and Slide.
After this the book continues with "foot tap" coordination exercises for the different tunes, an extensive section on cross rhythms, the use of double accents and sShifting patterns (a trick I've read here drummers and percussionists use to move the rhythmic pattern up or down a beat or two. New study material for me to like a lot in this little book)Â… The book concludes with some "mMetronome" exercises for you to work with, and a bodhran related recommendation list.
As I mentioned before the booklet comes with an excellent 64 track CD.
It starts with a bodhran solo by Lucy and continues with a clear example (played slow and fast) for every exercise in the book, so you can at least hear what your suppose to sound like. At the start of each audio fragment the corresponding title, exercise number and, where needed, the page in the book are correctly given aloud. This makes the interaction between the two media formats flawless.

Man beachte die Hedwitschak Dragonskin !
Den Tutor gibts bei mir für 18€ inklusive Porto zur Einführung....
