The bodhrán/bodhran (pronounced "bough-rawn") is a hand-held Irish or Celtic drum, also known as an Irish hand drum, or Irish frame drum. Bodhrans are essential for the rhythmic structure of traditional Irish music and are what give it that distinctly Irish feel. A bodhran drum is played using a stick, that is known as a tipper or beater. Bodhran tippers can vary in size depending on the particular style one is aiming for.
