Thanks!  It's all guitars.  Some acoustic and some electric.  It was my best impression of a sitar feeling.

Reading the line "hippie drum-on-a-stick thing you twirl around" made me laugh out loud. Dig the track, man. Love the sound of the guitars.

Pretty trippy man, I like it.  I love the delayed panning, its making the guitar sound awesome.

I’m glad you brought this idea to life! Sweet sounds, and nice touch with the buzzing at the end.

There's probably a name for that style of drum, but I don't know what it is so I just tried to describe it. 

Thanks!  It just seemed like a good effect for this one.

The buzzing was kind of a last minute addition, but I thought it needed a little something something at the end.  Glad to hear it works!

A shining song.

Haha. Great explanation of the hippie drum. You bring percussive sounds to your tracks that I would never think to use. Another great track. At the end, is that you finger tapping the drum?

ah that was good, gimme hippie middle easter music any time, any day. That was fun, good range of instruments. The only thing that'd be nice would be to turn it into a 3h jam instead of 3 minutes. People might die in the process but art demands commitment.

I hand hit a popcorn tin at the very end as the track exceeded the lengthy of hippie drum I had laid down and I thought that part could use some sort of different percussion.

3 hours of this would either be really exhausting or really transcendental or possibly both.  Thanks for listening!

i'm tripping...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I sprinkled the whole thing with LSD.  Should have included a disclaimer.  Sorry about that. 

But seriously, thanks for listening!

You could not find a better title for this track. It represents a transcendental trip to the cosmic satori. Absolute freeky. Respect.

Thanks!  I think I just got in that zone for this one.

The guitars sound really good especially for that sitar feel you were going for.  The hippie twirly drum gave it a nice constant pace that by the end with the chanting took it into another universe

Hippy drum on a stick!! I knew exactly what you meant. It sounds good in this, I used to have one, never really used. All of this sounds good. I'm in a good space with this. Transports me to 60's Haight street ... as we tune in turn on and expand our minds to the other side of the universe.

The sitar feeling was a bit of a happy accident.  I mean, it's totally the vibe I was going for but it actually worked better than I kind of thought it was going to.  In the absence of a real sitar it worked okay at any rate.

Yeah, it's probably not the kind of drum I'll use a lot, but it seemed to work perfectly here.  I bought it kind of as a souvenir, but also thinking "hey, this makes noise.  I'll probably find a way to use it eventually."

The hippie drum is well placed.  It adds authenticity to the very psychedelic 60s sound. The fuzzed out guitar at the end and the chanting also make it sound like the soundtrack to some tripped out film.

Thanks!  I've been waiting for the right time to use that drum for a while now.  As soon as I played the opening guitar line I knew this was the one.
