Panland "Piti Pan" Authentic 10" Steelpan Drum

The Pitipan is a popular component in Trinidad & Tobago Instrument Company's steeldrum line. They are half the size of traditional steel pans, yet they retain all of the tonal characteristics. They have a bright and lively sound, like a steel drum should.

The Pitipan is handmade in Trinidad & Tobago, and made from steel that was especially designed to be used in the construction of steel drums. The drum suspends from a tubular PVC stand which is both strong and stable, yet extremely lightweight and portable.

The package also includes rubber-tipped wooden playing sticks, an informative booklet detailing the history of the steel drum, information about your individual steel drum and detailed instructions on proper playing form. The booklet will also teach you how to play a simple C scale and the following songs:

    * Mary had a Little Lamb
    * When the Saints Go Marching In
    * Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
    * London Bridge
    * Frere Jacques

This very unique drum can be a great addition to any style of music from Rap to Rock to Ethnic Arts. A great gift for any music lover, and Music Brokers is proud to offer it to you at this price.
