    I play tabla. I used to rock an instrument that I made out of a water pump, pvc pipes with holes in them, and various valves in a tub. It made rain-like sounds. THe thing with buying a Gamelan, or similarly esoteric instrument, is that the first one you buy will undoubtedly be of quesitonable integrity, but it won't matter until after you buy the second one.

    Rapping is pretty esoteric these days, right? Put me down for rapping.

    I play a mean mouth trumpet/trombone/tuba (no homo). I've actually been sampled by a real, live hop-hip producer! (no homo)

    I play an electric cello. It's difference from its acoustic form is that it can be manipulated to sound an awful lot liek an oud, erhu, or sarangi.

    I heard a sarangi in real life for the first time last year. No recording that I have ever heard comes close to the haunting/distant/ethereal quality of this instrument.

    I have an oud, but I wouldn't say I play it per-se. That shit is incredibly hard to get down...
