Cool...
Drones can be a very useful tool for practice and improvisation and for composition as well. I also like pushing off against harmonium, bag pipes, Gregorian Chants, monks chanting aum, and more. Combine with a percussion groove: hand drums, tabla, shakers, etc. and it gives a nice edge for practicing scales, intervals, licks, chordal movements. Tambura is an ancient instrument so it brings with it some substance, and can transport you for a little while.
I'm happy to see that a few people are accessing this simple but useful offering.
