Why Build A Steel Pan Band?  The Steel Drum instrument is probably the best instrument available for bringing "at risk" students into music.  We are not making this up.  We are repeating what we have heard from numerous teachers.  Steel Drums are of course, not drums at all.  They are fully chromatic instruments.  The cool part is that you "TAP" them.  Anyone can do that!  If you hit a piece of metal in a random way you get noise.  If you hit a drum with a stick while adding a simple rhythm, you have the start of a Drum Circle.  When you hit a Steel Pan with two sticks using a simple rhythm you get the beginnings of a song!  The Payback is instant and that's the key!  You can take a group of non-musicians, put them on your Steel Band instruments and have them playing a real two or three chord song within 1 hour.  It really is that easy and rewarding.

OUR MOST POPULAR START UP PACKAGE! - The five player package shown on this page has consistently been our best seller.  It provides a great sound, 4 part voicing and a great price!  Caution, we have seen other sites  describe this as an 11 piece band!  It sounds great but there are 11 pans that comprise five instruments.

Custom Packaging is our Specialty.  We offer band packaging using basic Painted steel drums or we can mix in a chrome front line for a classy look on stage.  School Colors?  No Problem.  We will customize your band quotation to meet your specific needs and budget. You can be assured that all of our Pan Instrument offerings represent the ?highest value per dollar spent? available anywhere.
