News and highlights

More options for ChangeHED

Skins and frames can now be ordered directly for ChangeHED models – including CoreLine Black, ExpressConfigurHEDor bodhráns, RWEchange, MOS2 and Custom Made bodhráns with the ChangeHED system.

A selection of pre-configured skins is available, including a synthetic skin with a matching tuning frame. In addition, there is the option of putting together your own skin configuration from a wide selection. Just like the ExpressConfigurHEDor in a small format for skins and frames! 

curated selection

The HEDge and its predecessor, the Rebellion, have always been compatible with all 14’ standard drum skins. While a variety of options can be found in music stores worldwide, bodhrán-info now offers a curated selection of synthetic skins for these drums. Each Remo skin is specially treated and taped by Christian Hedwitschak to ensure optimal sound quality.

The shop is continuously being expanded; the original HEDge skin is available at the moment, with more skins to come soon.

The new vegan sensation

The HEDge allows the use of any synthetic 14″ drumheads, making it easy to tailor your own individual sounds. And all of this with a highly innovative head change system that allows for a quick and tool-free head change.

The HEDge is not only vegan because of the synthetic drumhead. No animal products such e.g. beeswax are used in the frame material, glue and surface material either.
