at WKU our percussion head really doesn’t care about much else
he has nothing to do with the drumline nor does he care about much other than solo sections in steel band pieces
ugh
triple guitar woot woot strum section
mambo mindoro and el montuno are my favorite steel band arrangements
yeah, you have to …
yeah, you have to have some awesome audio equipment to really capture it well and even then its better live. Goombay festivals in the US and Panorama in Trinidad are the best. I played pan around the neck in a Goombay festival here in Florida…we had some awesome college groups Georgia being the best…next to Bob Marley’s band hehe.

Hey. i was looking for lord kitchener’s - pan in a minor doing a project in school- was happy to see our instrument represented in this way. I’m extemely proud that pan was invented in my home -Trinidad. You guys need to see Panorama live though - our yearly pan competitions that happens around Carnivaal time. I’m a proud Trini!!!!!

I saw this group in denton , tx…. awesome!
Apparently they have enough members to split into smaller groups… must be nice to have that many on a part.. and give some a break every now and then.

Nice
im from indio and in a steel Band too. Its a band of only high school students. Our band is small though, imagine the two front rows, thats almost like our whole band.
Were gonna try to take on this piece too.
Preach on good …
Preach on good brotha. “Easy” does not equal bad and “Difficult” does not equal good. As George Clinton once said, “One nation under groove”
i completely agree …
i completely agree with you. plus that run starting about 4:02 is EXTREMELY HARD to get when it goes real fast. its all over the drums.
Yes. You ARE the …
Yes. You ARE the steel drum god and all shall bow to you, steelpan12… so what if you think the piece is easy. Some of the best music out there might be considered “easy”, and there are a lot of really difficult pieces that are boring. And so what if it’s slow. Did you ever think that maybe they CHOSE to play it at that tempo? I think it groves really well at that speed.
They’re not trying to prove anything here. Just play good music. Take it or leave it.
Yes, Steeldrummusic …
Yes, Steeldrummusic, not EVERYONE in Texas owns a ranch and goes on cattle drives every weekend…
my high school …
my high school steel band is learning this song. ha. we play it a little faster. i play double seconds(second row players) awesome song. keep it up.
in the miami steel …
in the miami steel band all the triple cello parts are played by triple guitar. I guess that if an instrument is gonna be classified triple CELLO, it has to have longer skirts?
its a triple cello
its a triple cello
Yea, the 2:00 put …
Yea, the 2:00 put out another CD called “Special Brew” not too long ago. You might be able to get a copy through the percussion department.
also, your second …
also, your second line players are ridiculously quick.
it may just be the …
it may just be the lighting but it looks like the two triple sets to the right of the drum kit have skirts several feet long. Are they tenorbass (minus a pan?) or are they triple guitar/cello (with extra skirt length)? I’ve not seen a pan like that before.
although the …
although the invention of the instrument group commonly referred to as “Steel pan” can be attributed to many different individuals, Ellie Manette is most often credited with creating the “standard” layout of most modern steel pan instruments. This should give you a pretty good springboard to research more on your own, if you so desire. I love pan…a lot.
Nice performance …
Nice performance but a little too slow. Is the whole performance somewhere? I’d like to see what they did with the visuals towards the end. (I was in the first UNT Steel Drum Ensemble to play this piece back in 1996 under the direction of the late Jon Kellis.) Do you know if they’ve made anymore CDs? I’d love to get a copy.
