Cooperman Glen Velez Series Bodhrans
The Glen Velez Series also features a new bodhran model. A celebrated international soloist and principal figure in the art of the frame drum, Grammy award-winning percussionist Glen Velez has created his own vocabulary and compositional style. Inspired by his far reaching study of traditional drumming techniques from cultures around the world, the Velez bodhran combines the enhanced features of the Glen Velez tar drums united with traditional features of the Cooperman bodhrans.

Cooperman Glen Velez Series Mediterrasian Tambourines
(including free instructional booklet)

Glen Velez designed this series of drums to explore a new context for some traditional instruments. The three drums clearly borrow their design heritage from the South Indian kanjira, the Southern Italian tamburello, and the Spanish/Basque panderoa, but they are not intended to be traditional versions of those instruments. The jingles, the jingle pattern, and all of the design details have been adapted to facilitate Glen’s innovative, cross-influenced tambourine technique. This new design allows you to adapt the instrument to your individual needs and preferences regarding both weight (fewer jingles means lighter weight) and sound. In an accompanying booklet, Glen demonstrates the application of his Mediterrasian style using hand movements drawn from the traditional sources, but with the underlying rhythmic ideas combined and shaped into a broadened context.
