I tell you what, I got the chance to play on one of these drums at the NAMM show a few months ago, they are unbelivable. Great tone, large size for easy access, these new style drums are really worth the 5000 bucks.
Go to Panyard's website and read their history. When they started out, there were no formal businesses in Trinidad making pans, and little or no after-sales support. Plus, Panyard enlisted the assistance of some of Trinidad's best pan technicians and artists. They didn't just up and steal away Trinidadian business.
Its nice 2 see pan bein developed around the world. Every tuner and maker have there way of makin pan which gives each pan its individual sound. All the big bands in Trini all have there own unique sound which is down to the maker. Each to there own, this company have perfected there style of makin pan and they sound ok, bit to ringy for my liking but nevertheless. Anything to promote pan to the world is a plus aint it? :-)
I was shock that a steel pan should be made modern and in england.i thought it was a carribean thing. Why do other people always keep copying our ideas and profiting from it.almost everything we invent is taken over and copied and the person who invent get put in thn libraries and is never acknowledge.Its our fault coz we allow.
I know right if the sound of a steel drum from USA and a drum from trinidad happen to differ, one still has the choice to buy theres from trinidad. And what the hell do I know but it looks like they put a lot of time and technoogy into it
i did not want to say it but its shit total nice try but you know we got it down ,the finest makers (Gay,Guppy,Butch, Sampson,Halts). These are the people you need to be looking for.why not buy something from its home and enjoy having it and you could say i got it from its origin well. a potter is a potter and the hand hammered pan is the finest of all.
I have to laugh everytime I see it.... They cheapen the whole experience... This is like a chef of a fine restaurant opening a can of tomato sauce pouring it in the pot to heat it up and then pouring it over the pasta one time and serving it. This method gotta be the McDonalds of steelpan....
who is these WHITE PEOPLE..... for the National instrument of TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO why didn't they get the Local Indigenous folk Born and Bread from Trinidad to show you the OLD SCHOOL way to make a Pan without all that "convenient" technology... ???? If you want to make an accurate documentary it should be as factual as possible..

very cool
I don't care how bad the pitch is...I'm gonna try to make one that gets the sound...even if it's only one pitch...it's just so damn cool.
He's right--Ellie rules. Coyle Drums are nice, too.
No matter what color, as long as the pans sound good mon.......
