Default Bagpiping? ooh err missus

I bought a set of bagpipes but it is like wrestling with an octopus whilst blowing till my cheeks ache . The solution has been found by my friend Cyberpiper -he plays electric pipes and I play electric drums - MySpace.com - cyberpiper - - Electronica / Folk / Trance - www.myspace.com/cyberpiper .
I intend to do similar stuff in Scotland with conventional pipes and Flats drums - more fun than a Bodran or Cajon and less hassle to carry around than normal drumkits .

This tune was huge and has a bagpipe solo in the bridge...

I once saw about twenty people leave an open mic in Glasgow after a jaw-dropping, completely-out-of-context, twenty minute musical tirade from a particularly cruel and oblivious young man. Keep the pipes for weddings and rugby matches please!

That could possibly be the worst idea anyone has ever had.
