As per request [and thank you for requests!] here is what I've been learning with finger rolls for one hand on frame drum, and applying it to bodhran.

I'm still very much in the physical learning side of this.  It will be months before I get proficient at it, but that it's there as a technique inspires me.

Limitations on bodhran is again, the bodhran's lack of sustain.  My TrHED drum being used in the videos is one of my more sustainful drums, and it too [due to the leading edge design] doesn't sustain like a frame drum.
