Bridget Bodhran

Bridget Drums has been crafting professional-quality handmade bodhran drums in Canada since 1996. Founded by Russell Duke, a professionally trained cabinet maker and lifelong drum enthusiast, the company combines fine woodworking craftsmanship with a deep understanding of rhythm, sound, and traditional Irish music.

Every Bodhran Drum is individually crafted with carefully selected materials. Multi-layer, select-grade Northern Hard Rock Canadian Maple forms the shell, providing strength, resonance, and natural beauty. Aircraft-grade, powder-coated aluminum is used in the tuning system for durability and precise adjustment, while select-grade goat skin provides the playing surface. Each skin is ethically sourced as a by-product of the food industry and enhanced with modern NANO spray treatment for greater consistency and longevity.

Handmade Bodhrán Drum

Bridget Drums offers handmade and custom bodhráns for professional musicians, beginners, Irish traditional musicians, and world percussionists. Because every player has different preferences, each drum is built with individuality in mind, no two instruments are exactly alike.

Alongside bodhrán drums, Bridget Drums offers bodhrán tippers, tuners, and accessories to support players at every stage. With decades of experience, premium materials, custom craftsmanship, and worldwide shipping, Bridget Drums serves musicians across Canada, the USA, Ireland, the UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond.
