Oct 10, 2008 - So the ONLY place anyone shouldget a steelpan form is trinidad? How about guitars? Where should we get those? It's a musical instrument, it is a tool for art. If someone makes it well, I don't think it matters where it ceoms from.

Oct 10, 2008 - amazing the technological advances but its scary to think of all the years of hard work and development by pans creators n innovaters of trinidad seem like they been hijacked and remodelled in the usa theres actually not much in terms of development being done here that hasnt been done or already theres just more money behind it.listen to the kitch tune pan in danger for all the issues these developments throw up and the consequences for the inventors of pan. one love owen. big up maestros uk

Oct 10, 2008 - 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

Oct 10, 2008 - 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.

Oct 10, 2008 - Trini's the first 2 make pan inventors of the beautiful sounds u hear on the steel pan BIG UP TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
panman2005 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - You don't need to but pans from trinidad and this video is bullshit. The originator of the modern steel drum lives in the US. Ellie Manette lives in Morgantown, West Virginia and has a shop where he is, for now, still tuning and improving the steel drum. Panyard has moved too far away from the work that Dr. Mannette has done.

Oct 10, 2008 - They no longer make drums from 55 gallon barrels. This has lead them to make monsterous steeldrums that despite the fact that their diameter is very close to that of a 85 gallon barrel which they could have a 4 octave range, that drum actually has less notes then a normal Tenor Pan and takes up more space.
panman2005 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - I am disappointed that the discovery channel managed to travel to Akron, Ohio to video Steve Lawrie tuning a pan when they could just as easily gone just about 7 hours southeast of there to morgantown to tape Dr. Ellie Manette tuning a drum. If you want to buy a pan, first look at manette steeldrums online. They are reasonably affordable and their quality is undeniable! If you can't afford them there are other people making pans that are of a higher quality then panyard pans.

Oct 10, 2008 - 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.
nutellajunkie Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - The emotion from steel drums is phenomenal. First time I heard these instruments, I was hooked on the sound.

Oct 10, 2008 - 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.

Oct 10, 2008 - i just recently watched a two part program on the diy network that features the history and talent of Ellie Manette. It really did him justice. The process he uses is very similar to this video as far as layout with markers, magnets, rulers, and strobe tuners. The only thing He didn't use was the ultasound measuring device or what ever it was.

Oct 10, 2008 - 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..
panthol Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - there is a whole lot going rong in this vid! what these white people for?

Oct 10, 2008 - Panyard not only produces the finest pans available today, they also are the only company forwarding the artform into the modern day from the dark ages. Thanks to the Panyard family for your knowledge and passion.
