Ahem, Indian music, anyone?
Seriously though; I find having a drone in place to be infinitely preferable and far more improvisationally inspirational than dead air most of the time. I sometimes like to use my friend's "Raagini" (a tanpura machine that produces drones) during solo guitar performances. It's definitely nice to have it there, and gives a surprising amount of textural stimuli to respond to while still maintaining almost total freedom within its key.
I wish I could see this show.
