Putting together a well-balanced steel band is simple! Depending on your budget and specific needs a steel band can consist of as little as one Lead Pan and one set of Double Second Pans mixed with other instruments, many of which you may already have at your school, such as Marimbas, Vibes, Keyboards, Electric Bass, Piano etc. or larger ensembles of 20+ Pans.
A well-balanced Starter Package consists of one Lead Pan, one set of Double Second Pans, one set of Triple Cello Pans and one set of Six Bass Pans, covering Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass voices, along with Drum Kit, Congas, T’ings, and other hand percussion in your Engine Room.
