By the 1840s, an African-American tambourinist known as Juba (William Henry Lane) was said, by Charles Dickens, to astound audiences with a highly stylized way of playing that included the ability to mimic the sounds of trains and other mechanical devices.
His technique also involves close proximity of a microphone, and he is able to fully support an entire acoustic ensemble in place of a drumset player with snare drum and bass drum types of sounds and pitch bends (Lucky by The Subdudes – 1991 and his instructional video The Amedée Way).
Irish percussionist Jim Sutherland played bodhrán with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant in 1994 (featured on the DVD No Quarter: Unledded) while English percussionist Terl Bryant plays a specially built synthetic tunable bodhrán and other frame drums having worked with John Paul Jones, Robin Mark, and Peter Murphy, among others.
