Rather than mythicising the bodhrán as the oldest Irish music instrument, Beating Times points to the idea that it should perhaps be celebrated for being the newest. Its rapid emergence and transformation is as remarkable and astonishing an ascent in universal popularity and international acceptance as has been the worldwide rise of the guitar in all music.
