The african drums were played by african drumming group Jabula. The bodhrán was played by Mike.
The african drums start at about 12:28. I have heard similar sounds from bodhráns, but these big, thuddy sounding drums are almost certainly large african (probably goatskin covered) drums. I believe the clicky sound is as well. Listen to how all the different elements of the rhythm are placed in different parts of the stereo image. Sometimes two different drum sounds fall on the same beat as well. It may be possible to do on a single bodhrán, though (at least play something very similar), which could prove to be an interesting interpretation of the part...
I've looked at bodhráns in music shops and thought they'd be interesting to try, but haven't yet got one. I do have a pair of small African goatskin drums, though, although not of quite the same type that Jabula would play...
