As a related aside (unusual playing techniques), I recently saw Gerry
Hemingway (drummer with Anthony Braxton, Bob Ostertag's Say No 
More) making timpani-like pitch swells on his floor tom. As I looked 
closer to see how he was doing this, I saw that he was blowing air 
through a plastic tube into the "breathing" hole on the side of the tom. 
Thus, he was able to change the internal air pressure in the tome. Pretty 
cool idea, I though maybe might find interestiing. Anyways, ...
