- Just to throw kerosene into the fire...
-
- My favorite arrangement for studio work is to have the bodhran player
- face a small "wall" of RPG diffusers about 12 feet away, and put a
- U-87 on figure-8 pattern midway between them. Try to kill most of the
- other reflective surfaces in the studio. This also works for "bones"
- (the kind that you rattle), but there you need to watch closely for clipping.
-
- For live performance, try a small pzm aimed in the general direction of
- the bodhran.
