There's a fascinating history to music of this region and the Caribbean, including calypso, mento, ska, rock-steady, reggae, dub, toasting, dance hall, merengue, tropical/cumbia, and reggaeton. I started collecting calpypso & steel drum records back in 1975.
Man where can I get CDs from you guys? The wind was catching in your mike undortunately (outside concerts can be tricky) but I can see you are damn good! MORE PLEASE!!! I fell in love with calypso and steel band at Expo 1967 in Montreal (Esso Band). I'm white as snow but I go for this! No wonder my daughter is a ska-loving antiracist skinhead she heard reggae when she was in my belly LOL.
the steel pan or drum as some may call it is a musical instrument originating from the islands of Trindad and Tobago. It is a symbol of the caribbean and is here for all to enjoy.
Yeah im in a steel drum band in va. even if the tuning sounds weird, they still sound pretty freakin good. u guys should check out the Rhythm Project All-Stars. we r on youtube too. :)
Happy Birthday Bob! ... They have gone astray... Let them all pass all their dirty remarks There is one question I'd really love to ask Is there a place for the hopeless sinner Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs One Love, One Heart, Let's get together and feel alright... Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright Have pity on those whose chances get thinner For there's no hiding place from the Father of Creation!
With a set of hammers, an electronic strobotuner, ears, and craftsmanship. Pans need retuned on a regular basis - the metal bends slightly through continued playing, and needs to be re-bent back into tune. I tune mine about once a year. Google pan tuning for about a second and you'll find plenty of info
@acr08807 To answer your question- no. They are crafted using hammers and other hand operated tools. Most instruments these days are manufactured with precision tooling. And then they go through a vigorous fine-tuning processes using scientific equipment. Thats why you get a very accurate sound. These drums aren’t finetuned due to the nature of the material and construction process; thus creating the change in tone from drum-to-drum. Get it now?
@fightforthecapitol they may be handmade but it takes hours of work to make each one perfect. they just require tuning everynow and then which these have obviously not been brought in to have done.
@fightforthecapitol Sadly at least one of the drums is out of tune - and it doesn't matter if they are hand made or not (that's like saying a hand made guitar or violin can't be tuned), they can still be tuned quite accurately.
@@thelibran11 wow 13 years on ..I d completely forgotten about this. But you 're right. It was a defensive remark. It s just that away from the Caribbean..everybody equates all the islands with just one..Jamaica. But factually speaking it does not say that in this here..just that the band is from there.. Take care
this is the sound as it was probably meant to be, in it's natural state. I enjoyed Bob Marley's song, but you are right, the tourism touch made me puke at the end..
I'm half carribean so it's nice to hear the steel drums playing. it's a beautiful sound😊

When I was younger back in school, our music room had a bunch of steel drums. Kind of difficult to play, but so much fun!
Steel drums are one of my favorite instruments, they remind me of when I was at discovery cove

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs

@fooloof For the people talking about this, the steel drum originated in trinidad, which is off the coast of venezuela
Not necessary...and I'm Trini!
i like this song
Yeahhh One Love played on "Shell Oil Drum`s" ;o)

greeeeeat!!! luv
WOO! BOB MARLEY RULES!
Its there place for the HOPELESS SINNER...I love it!!1luv
cool version :)
@dipsaucerose yes with the singing waiters with their flaming baked alaskas
so cool
one love
@TheBoxerHDZ Actually, neither. the wind's interfering with the mic recording this, and distorting the sound.
lol i play with a steel band and its fun we play by ear so we dont have to read notes winnipeg steel orchestra =D
@AlicesFanpire Yes, dream of the Caribbean, but keep in mind that the steel pan is from the West Indies/Lesser Antilles, not the Caribbean.
Is that necessary?
@fightforthecapitol it sounds perfect to me
Very Interesting.
@fightforthecapitol they may be handmade but it takes hours of work to make each one perfect. they just require tuning everynow and then which these have obviously not been brought in to have done.
so kool
Suite. Sweet
Seen!
i think this is better than the actual song
@fightforthecapitol Sadly at least one of the drums is out of tune - and it doesn't matter if they are hand made or not (that's like saying a hand made guitar or violin can't be tuned), they can still be tuned quite accurately.
Now I feel alright!!
@DragonForceprimeiro Its called One Love
badass
Steel drums.
@Ultimate360slim thanks dude
@Boeserwolf93 Can't we all just hit a bong? Or get along? Pass da' bong.

@Noobman79 one love by bob marley
which part of jamaica are they from
problem is steel pans are from trinidad and tobago not jamaica. important to know this. but glad you like
Was that necessary?Where was it said that its from Jamaica?And I am Trini...are you so insecure?

TO EVERYONE COMMENTING ON THE TUNING: each pan is hand made, how do you expect each to sound perfect????
