Seeking a drummer and bodhran player who’s familiar with Celtic music

I’m seeking a drummer and bodhran player who’s familiar with Celtic music (traditional to rock) and who can emulate the snare, cymbal, and kick approach on the professionally recorded track of The Boarding House (attached). If you can supplement the drums w/ touches of bodhran, that’s all to the better. Essentially, there are some sound issues on the track, and my colleague can’t re-do his part because of health problems.

The song is part of a ... larger project, Dubliners Sung, with sets James Joyce’s short stories to original lyrics and Celtic-flavored music. Your services would probably be needed for a few more tunes that are already well along in the recording process. Down the line, I can send just the drum track and the song without drums or down low in the mix.

Requirements:

1. Able to play to what’s there since most of the other parts are already completed.
2. Able to record at least eight tracks and send wavs (32 float preferred) via Dropbox.
3. Able to complete within a month. The sooner, the better.
4. Open to tweaking if needed.
5 Conversant in either Logic Pro X or Pro Tools, preferably the former or both.

Must be good enough to pass muster w/ my engineer, though, who has a better ear.
