Kress Drums

Maker of drums and bell pads in the heart of Celtic Wales

Having the right skin or head on your drum is the most important aspect of a bodhran. I have spent a lot of time looking for a good tannery. The feedback from my customers proves that the long search has been worth it.

Goat skins are available in 22"; 24"; 26" & 30"
Calf Skins are avaialable in 40" & 50"

Bags are available in various sizes either in stock or can be made to size. The bags are finished in black, water resistant and padded. They may have a pocket, a carry handle and shoulder strap. For more details see the price list or enquire.

A variety of different types of beaters are always in stock including weighted beaters and thin straight beaters in oak and other woods.

Books, videos and CD's teaching the playing of the bodhran by the excellent percussionist Steaffan Hannigan are usually available
