i agree. another major reason why it should not be referred to as a drum is because it has no skin covering

Additionally Ellie Mannette has never laid claim to any credit for inventing 'pan'...you can contact him and find out for yourself, he's on the faculty of West Virginia University. Better to educate yourself than spread misinformation.

Piano keys are made from ivory... do you call a piano an elephant? Do we call a guitar a tree? The steelpan is more akin to a xylophone or marimba than it is to a true 'drum'.

Wrong! Ellie & Spree and their padnas came up with the steeldrum. Prior to the oil drums, they used biscuit tins.

It is made from a "DRUM" - a steel drum that was originally used to transport oil.

It's not a drum...please don't refer to it as such, it detracts from the genius employed to create it and diminishes the skill necessary to elicit the range of notes produce.

BTW: The name of the man credited with inventing the only new musical instrument of the 20th Century - the Steelpan - is Elie Manette.

These guys could go to Trinidad - inventor of the Steelpan - and seriously kick some butts there.They're terrific and this comment is from a Trinidadian.
