Bodhrán
A one-sided drum, the bodhrán is usually made from goatskin stretched over a wooden frame and can be played with the hand or a stick of varying dimensions.
It gets it's name from the Irish for 'deafener', and, in the wrong hands, can be exactly that.
In the right hands, however, the bodhrán is an important rhythm accompaniment with a suprising range of pitch and timbre.
