Meinl FDT1 Bodhran Beater

This Meinl bodhran tipper is thick, well-crafted and well-balanced - designed for the traditional style of playing. I got it about half a year ago and I've been extremely pleased with it so far.
The beater is gorgeous - dark wood polished smoothly. The grip might not be everybody's cup of tea, but nothing that some good ol' racquet-handle tape can't fix. Due to their size and weight the ends brush well on the bohdran and produce a rich, deep tone.
Overall, an excellent bodhran tipper to add to one's collection for experimentation and experience. Quickly became my go-to beater.
