RE: Steel Drum Life: Island music bass for a highly respected city official’s memorial and then a surprise percussion request. Part 1 of 2.
I used this vector graphics editor-> https://inkscape.org/en/ (it is free :D )
I live in the Netherlands. So that's the other of the world. I will have look into Jumpy pan. Thanks for the recommendation. I am still hoping to find to find a cheap drum/pan at a flea market but so far no luck. I will give you tweet when I find one :)
Yes, if you find one, the guy I worked for here in Lakewood California, might know a tuner in your area... You can probably get a hang easier than most... maybe... lol... if it's not too expensive, it might be too exclusive. https://g.co/kgs/Py4sp8 That is a type of hand pan. Probably the "original" design.
Defiantly not a steel drum. :)
If I were looking for a cheap steel drum (and i should) I would look for a tuner/maker and ask him if he has a steel drum that is tuned, but not chromed plated. Just rust proof and tuned. That might bring the price down. Some tuners do it. I'll ask my old boss if he knows anyone in Netherlands too.
