Not at all happy about this month theme ... percussion only
Really not my scene, so I decided to go 'almost' all VST. The only real thing is the bodhran.
The late Derek Bell, of The Chieftains, often played a hammered dulcimer which he referred to as a
tiompán.
I’ve tried to simulate the sound of this instrument by playing a tune from the 17th century harpist Turlough O'Carolan. I have added accompaniment of Vibraphone, Xylophone, Marimba and Glockenspiel, backed up by a Bodhran. All very traditional except that I’m afraid they are all, bar the bodhran, virtual instruments.
