Hey,
8 overdraw is a great note. It is an enharmonic (equivalent) of 9 draw.
The overdraw is bendable and has much more soul & expression than 9 draw.

2 overblow is a nice enharmonic also (same as 3 draw bent down a minor 3rd)
3 overblow is very unstable enharmonic of 4 blow(sort of.) It is a nice ugly 
effect though
