School competitions are coming up and this year you want to participate in a music festival. You found out that almost all kinds of known instruments have been taken. And you wonder what kind of unique instrument you will play to impress the school.

So you hit the library to do research but the music section does not help, and the librarian points you to the history section. A title catches your eye and it is about the musical history of Trinidad, and you realized that what you wanted to do was to play steel pan music. But there is more to the instrument than performing a great piece.

This instrument appeared during a time when French planters move to Trinidad during the 1789 French revolution, and with them came the slaves to work in their fields. Since the slaves could not participate in the local carnival festival they made their own version called canboulay. But by 1880 these were band due to the riots that emerge from these.

There several times that these percussion instruments were banned by the governing body during that day. Because it was associated with criminals and outlaws these were not very popular then. However in recent years the pan has made it way back from the grave.

Not only does it signify the cultural identity of developed by the former slaves of Trinidad. Today it is now part of the local music scene and has evolved from the Tamboo bamboos which is made from bamboo wood fashioned into a stick that can produce sounds and play tunes. Playing this required it to be hit on the ground, and produced sound when hit by other sticks.

These were made with sheet metal. The thickness range between 0.8 and 1.5 mm, but in tradition it was made from barrels used to contain oil and other substances. Today most makers use other types of materials apart from steel containers. Creating the drum begins by using a bowl shaped called sinking to mold the sheet metal.

Every good musician must learn how to play an instrument correctly. Because it helps them play the tunes precisely and produce the best music for the audience to appreciate, but knowing the right position and handling as well as the care of an instrument can improve the usage over time. Starting with position most players stand with feet shoulder wide apart, so that body weight can be distributed evenly.

Shifting your weight includes bending the knees and sometimes leaning close to it during the music session. Never removed your hands from the inside the drum and always keep it close, so the best sound can be produced. The player should know how to hold the sticks by gripping it tightly or loosely, and knowing what kind of size the device is should be enough to know which method to choose.

While the body should be four to five inches away from the skirt of the steel pan. This allows the musician to lean or pivot during play and will also help them bend their knees a little especially when reaching for hard to reach notes. There are other kinds of pans available such as the mid range and background types where the same positioning are used but the difference here is that the body must be allowed to move and never touch the drum.
