Can this drum be played like a bodhran? Looking for a vegan-friendly alternative to animal skin bodhran. Thanks for any advice!

There is no bars at the back to hold and id say the skin is tighter.if ure still tempted i think id go for the 14 or even 16 inch.i have 14 inch and def slightly deeper sound and more scope.not a musician myself so sorrt cant be of more help.

does this have a beater

No this does not come with a beater.

Is there anything I can do to tune the drum. I purchased 2 years ago and it has done me well until now.

I don't beleive there is. Sorry x

Is this made with any animal product?

No, it’s a vegan drum and skin, and comes with a booklet explaining how they make their vegan drums
