FYI: as a teenager I found an old oil drum and brought it home to do this and believe me, however hard you think it is to make one it's at least 5x harder. Turns out you've really gotta know what you're doing and not just bash away or you'll eventually weaken the metal and it'll crack and be unplayable. I ruined one side, and thought I understood how much and hard to hit it by learning from my mistakes and then proceeded to ruin the other side 😅. I think I wasted about a week in total and got oil stains in my car.

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

Props that you tried though. We used to make bows and crossbows when we were teenagers. But literally had no idea of how to go about it, and I am pretty sure the library even didn't have that sort of how-to technical book. Eventually my group of friends worked out a lot of the tricks other people already knew, and we mane some fairly good crossbows, each one better than the next.

Nearly 40 years ago I learned about the steel Pan drum. They brought it to school, and they instructed how it was made. How it was played where all the different notes were. And then the whole orchestra came out, and the highlight was the Pan steel drum. This is excellent now, 40 years later. I'm looking at a man putting it together in the actual form. But what I was told long ago is exactly what I just seen and I believe that all the way through the years. That was true so now I see it what an incredible thing.

To anyone wanting to do this, just be careful about what's in the barrel, I knew someone who got killed from one of them blowing up while he was using a grinder to cut it. The report said it had only about a tablespoon of acetone in it and the nearly enclosed space paired with the subsequent explosion is what caused enough pressure and shrapnel to kill him.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Looked like they had removed the entire bottom, which you *could* in theory do with a monster can opener instead of a grinder, which would preclude sparks, make it easy to rinse, and stop the enclosed space explosion. Caution is always warranted, sure

[@nachojones1]

Fill it with water a few times and flush it out before cutting.

@@michaelsorensen7567 good luck finding a 50 gallon drum sized can opener, not to mention one that opens the can on the side, instead of on the bottom/top... Did you think about this at all before you posted about it?

[@michaelsorensen7567]

@@Doomed462 so first off, we're talking about people who made musical instruments out of garbage. I don't think they'll have trouble making a giant can opener like the p-38 can opener scaled way larger if they want. Second, jaws of life cutters are something that could do the trick. Third, if I'm half as stupid as you think I am and can come up with 2 possible alternatives offhand, don't you think people who make stuff from trash as a living would have better ideas than I do how to do it?

Nothing beats arriving at a tropical location, preferably the Caribbean, stepping off the plane to the sound of a steel pan drum. Your whole outlook on life changes.

You don't know what a blacksmith does apparently. No smiting anywhere in this video. Metal fabrication, and drum tuning

Dayum, and here i thought i was watching a cooking pan making but it turned out i was watching a master at work in making an exotic instrument

I wish I could give this more than just a like. Some people deserve extra and this gentleman does. To be able to shape that to get the sound that he does, is amazing. That's true talent! ❤

This backyard process to make these drums is amazing, i dont think you could duplicate the sound of the instrument if it was made any other way.

[@nicktaylor5819]

I've heard this is the hardest instrument to tune and yet some musicians don't consider it an instrument at all because it wasn't solely made to play music

[@dogbot55]

What else was it made to do? Mix batter?

[@danielgalvin87]

Apparently the steel pan is an invention developed by multiple people. I like that idea. It's a piece of community work.

they all collectively went, "hm, steel drum. drum"

[@bagzy868]

This video is from trinidad. Which is also the birthplace of the Steel Pan and our national instrument. It hails from the 1930s famously used in our national event, Carnival. Other Trinidadians have modified the pan to what it is today but the original was created here with influences from African slaves brought here and the forceful changing of culture due to the British rule at that time.
