meine Bodhráns


2005: In collaboration with Christian Hedwitschak and with influences from Rob Forkner and Seamus O'Kane I developed the drum of my dreams - the RWE (Rolf Wagels Edition). Lambegskin, toolless tuning system, O'Kane dimensions and two colour variants. This drum is  distributed only through me and is played by myself since the introduction of this signature line.

2000: Seamus O'Kane from Dungiven in the North of Ireland amkes brilliant drums for many years now. The Lambeg skins he uses react very quickly and have a great sound. Seamus it not only a great maker who influenced generations of bodhranmakers, but also a gentleman and a fabulous player!

BW 1996: 1996 I bought this double skin. It has a very deep bass and is very nice when played with a hairbrush.
