Build a steel band for your school or community
With over 25 years of experience in the business of making steel drum music, we at Solid Steel are experienced and well-qualified to help you start your own steel band!
You will need to purchase the correct balance of tenor pans (melody), second pans (melody/harmony), guitar pans (melody/harmony), cello pans (melody/harmony), bass pans (bass!) and un-tuned rhythm instruments (rhythm).
So the first question you will want to ask is ‘how many steel drums do I need?’
Well this depends on the size of the band you would like to build.
You can set up your steel band with as few as 12 steel pans and a drum kit. We can offer you a 12-piece starter kit – a set of 6 bass pans, a pair of guitar pans, a pair of double second pans and 2 tenor pans with all the accessories required including sticks, stands and cases. We will also deliver these to you and show you how to set them up.
