Instrument Tutorials- Sitar

I own this sitar above. I am a drummer and I have little skill even on guitars.  Below (or after the jump) are some good intro links to the coolest instrument I own. 

Sitar and Hand Drum Track, in 3 Flavors

My buddy Anthony from the Arkestra and I got a bottle of Jameson a couple of Fridays ago, drank it way to quickly, and laid down a little sitar and hand drum mutlitrack jam.  We put a large diaphragm condenser mic up and recorded a hand drum jam with him on djembe and me on frame drum.  He then spent a good while getting my sitar tuned up and we laid a track down with him doing some strumming drone type sounds and me playing a skaker.  We then recorder another shaker overdub while me and my wife tinkered with rainsticks and other random percussion.  I then did three rough mixes in various flavors with a download and streaming link.
