Steelpan
Steelpan (also known as steeldrums or pans, and sometimes collectively with the
musicians
as a steelband) is a
musical instrument
and a form of
music
originating in
Trinidad and Tobago
.The pan is a
pitched
percussion instrument
, tuned
chromatically
(although some toy or novelty steelpans are tuned
diatonically
), made from a
55 gallon drum
of the type that stores
oil
. In fact, drum refers to the steel drum containers from which the pans are made; the steel drum is correctly called a steelpan or pan as it falls into the
Idiophone
family of instruments, and is not technically regarded as a
drum
or
Membranophone
.
