i have been bending yamaha dd whatevers for about a year or so now. i don't consider myself a circuit bender in any regard. these mostly came out of necessity and an interest in unique rhythmic sounds. i am not interested in decoration. i have sold these to fund my freelance employment lifestyle as well as to earn extra money to invest in speakers that always seem to blow, smoke and or steam. (and cat food) if interested in one of these please contact me
