Excellent! You have a classic steel pan! That is how steelpan used to sound. A collector's item. Keep up the good work, it brings back good memories. Thanks. Gerard, Trinidad & Tobago
I was in the steel drum band in college and we used the fancy pans from PanYard. You know, all super nice and tuned perfectly and shiny steel and all... But this, this is better. A more authentic sound. Makes me smile. (o:
Ironically, I am right now considering buying a tenor pan drum on Ebay. I have no percussion experience (besides piano) and I know no one else that plays one (some never even heard of one), but always thought they sounded fun. There's no one around that can teach me, but since you were able to teach yourself, you've inspired me to go for it,
@cassidottir A instrument is a instrument for life there is no such thing a sa instrument being beyyer then another they all have there own good use for what ever you need one for. i gurentee you i can sue this instrument in this video for a song and it will shine more then the lastest music FOOK Modern Music and Welcome The Old
@8Zeitgeist F and C are the notes that have no flats. Well' if u say (F flat) or (C flat) your are really saying (E) or (B). As (E) and (B) have no sharps. It would just be (F) and (C).
LOVELY - well done!!! Love it!! Now I wanna coffee, a dance and a bit of a grinding before going to get the groceries !!! lol gmao (grinding my arse off) - to your music of course!!
As a Trinidadian from the country where this instrument was invented, you make music that we created over 75 years ago. Anyone listening who is not a Trinbagonian would wonder at the touristy sound you're promoting when we've evolved into a much more rich and sophiscated sound. Even the Japanese bands on RU-vid don't sound so ancient. I would suggest that you upgrade to a more modern pan.
Very well played, although I have to be honest...I've always thought that having the note names written on the pan makes you look like a beginner. You certainly don't play like one though!
