The Sound of the Caribbean: Steel Drums in St. martin

[Jellyform]

Do they sell Mojitos there? If they do I know where I'm retiring :)

[Madowstone]

Awesome!

[GooglFascists]

Did they really make the first steel drums out of oil barrels

from drilling companies looking for oil in the islands, or is

that a tall tale? 

[truscorpion]

nice!!!!!

[globalrevolution95]

someday i'll go to this amazing country ! oh yeah i'll go. wait for me (:

[verkja]

Thanks to youtube now i know what on hell is this sound from horrible movies when the starring is on holidays in Caribe.

[curiosiddy]

Very beautiful!

[MrNarusuke]

czarni są takimi muzykami dobrymi

[comecobre]

Allure Of The Seas <3

[mangledinal]

Oh, Lord, take me to Mr. Busby's on a Sunday night so I can listen to this beautiful music and drink coke and Canadian Mist. Love this!!!

[blue1991dbes]

I for one cannot understand how a Trinidadian and Tobagonian instrument suddenly becomes a Caribbean instrument. From Movies to Game its about time Trinidad and Tobago got its due credit for being the creators of this wonderful instrument!

[vybz099]

@blue1991dbes you are sooo right! trindad and tobago or trinbago created this musical instrument so the country should get its due.

[Reachwun]

@blue1991dbes Possibly because Trinidad and Tobago is in the Caribbean.

[touggie2000]

@blue1991dbes how did the congo drum become a latin instrument???

[rubber4532]

Cool, I love the steelpans!

[Adrianmj5]

I am a trini althogh Ive only been there once with my father who is full trini

[509g1]

i wanna hear music remixed with these instruments they sound the best :D

[jeandennetiere]

best video on youtube EVER!!!

[blackishlovah123]

I've been trying to find this type of music forever....I kept searching tropical music......but I never knew that it was played on an instrument called the steel drums

[SaffronSkunk]

They look hard to play. Props, dude. :)

[pyjamapete1]

What is the title of this song? 

[pibinaction]

@pyjamapete1

the title of the song is : zilvermeeuw artist: rudi van dalm. its an indonesian/polynesian island song written in dutch language.

[guyanesegirls4321]

slow day wasn't it

[luveedoves43]

i feel like i'm in hawaii

[keiwansaunt]

@luveedoves43 exactly or in jamaica or the bahamas somewher!

[ringading47]

Yeah, I would also come to moan and piss about my fucking life - I love that steel drums -and he does it very very well - nice, soft, he is a very good musician - can be play in an opera hall - but, no - this is not the right ambiente - there are all the people who are boared from their lives - maybe one day I get the kick and leave Germany - for what - for having some nice last years - before I leave or the world leaves us and we are leaving too -

[chocolatebooty81]

ITS CARRIBEAN MUSIC THAT ORIGINATES FROM AFRICA

[vybz099]

@chocolatebooty81 no it originated from Trinidad and Tobago my dear. Im a trinbagonian and I play the steel pan.

[vybz099]

@chocolatebooty81 no no no my dear. Its trinibagonian music originating from my island called Trinidad and Tobago.

[JRDN058]

Brothers got skill xD

You will never catch a white guy playing like that on the steel drums

[OneLoveGermany]

@JRDN058 /watch?v=_3d6-3BjY0g

[mrmartinconte]

@JRDN058 White pan player right here, come from a well respected steelband, and definitely know guys with talent.

[Godrick34]

Interesting to note that the steel drums known intimately as steel pan originated from Trinidad and Tobago, my neighbor island. It began as a form of revolt against the plantation owners. They took the old drums to knock intending to make noise and found music.

[HairH2O]

@Godrick34 I think it was maybe because they wanted to play the music they had back in Africa check out Youtube video "Akwa Abasi Ibom State: Children's Cultural Display"

[AKASLOVERBOY]

niggzz got sick chune man

[grandephil]

This is to me the most relaxing music that I have ever heard... I love the steel pans !!! I am getting 2 and learning how to play them !! Such an awesome instrument to play beautiful music ...

[VideoClubMuenchen]

Toller Sound !

[honestbutugly]

im more amazed at how they make the drums than how how they are played.Gee take a piece of steel beat a dent to be constinant to all that can play , wow

[gulag1979]

this is superb! excellent!! just move those chairs and the "grilled lobster" sign behind you because you deserve a decent stage.

[anti0incultura]

sounds like MONKEY ISLAND !!

[elkaribbe]

Please, somebody in St.Martin tell this guy to put some steel drum to the beautiful 2nd song (it starts at 4:10) in the Youtube video entitled: Night of the Proms 2009 OMD Maid of Orleans und ein stück Souvenir in HD.

With a touch of a couple of gentle caribbean steel drums in the backgound, it would be perfect!

[PalloneWafer]

Love the steel drums!!!

[RaintreeLDS]

Don't anyone dare to re-master this, ya?!. Ha-ha! (It's the only way it can be real - like so many things.)

[donjaingard1]

[lambda2walk]

Where were you in Saint Maarten?

[aroundjapan]

This music is magic!

[Steelnavigator]

I started really noticing this type of music when playing Super Mario Sunshine. Really good. It has it's own feeling to it!

[LJJYADIG]

i love the steel drum it is so relaxing and peacemaking he did a great job

[wvd1979]

OK, new job stress management plan: We're gonna hire a dude to camp out in the cubical farm and play steel drums all day while people work.

[fishingindeepwater]

Da man play good pan man.

[LiviuJETIX]

[LiviuJETIX]

Verry relaxant I feel like on a sunny beach

[bangyourehead]

[Panimal11]

If you love steel pan - check out Eric "Airic" Liebing - Panimal Cracker

He is an amazing musician!!

[TheLandonott9]

[AltoTenorBariSax2]

@TheLandonott9 lol

[ente71211]

AMAZING!!! Very Good. 

[IngloriusBastard11]

Hey Osean, do you really think I give a shit about what you think or owe you any kind of explanation.

By the way, You sound just like one of those miserable American's I am talking about. And while you are on your way to your job at McDonalds I will be hoisting the sails and getting underway with a case of Corona. And here is a geography lesson for you. The US Virgin Islands are exactly that. Maybe you need to get over that cocky god damn Asian attitude of yours.

[marinlarin]

SPONGE BOB!

[sk8rkid135]

Not only the music, but the grace of the player's movments, the gentle swaying of the drums, the oceanic view in the background... This is a picture of paradise.

[deejaystatue]

this is AWESOME!

[huskieboy123]

i wish i had this guy in my house just playing this relaxing music who agrees

[SedrobErreip]

[Boeserwolf93]

i'm always fascinated about so many different tones coming out of one single steel pan

[bradleysantos123]

Love that island music- used to travel a lot but have bone cancer now- love to

plug into this soothing music and remember the good times

[sandman19681012]

@bradleysantos123 The music is beautiful. Stay strong my friend. I do not know how bad your cancer is but I wish you all the best luck in defeating it.

[Creaky1964]

@bradleysantos123 Here's a suggestion: Cook Island Dancers Tiari Tipani.

They dance and sing of the flower in their hair, the Frangipani. I am sure you will like it.

[adamberg666]

COMPTON!!!!!!

[lukeskywalker91]

I adore the sound of the steel drum.

It is so relaxing. makes me want to move to a tropical island.

[tohhma]

[thedancegroupstudio1]

[mrthirdleg1]

[NEILAALIEN]

Beautiful mon!

[killerscorpion0]

i want some of these :D

[IngloriusBastard11]

For all you people under 30 living the corporate BS lifestyle pack it in now and just move to the Islands because you will just get burned out, used up, and discarded.

Fortunately for me I pulled out at 33. Made my money and ran. Now I am a charter boat captain in the Islands drinking cocoanut juice, eating fresh fish and listening to all the American's who come here piss and moan about their lives...lol.

[19felinefancy]

@IngloriusBastard11 That's amazing :) I shall have to try that...after I finish my culinary degree maybe I could get a job at a beachfront restaurant...

[liz18c]

@IngloriusBastard11

Ah, if only I knew how... =)

[BoDiggety]

@IngloriusBastard11 YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!!

[BoDiggety]

This is making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.!!!

[OSeanSanO]

@IngloriusBastard11 i think your kind of a dumb ass, because you clearly live in the US according to your profile, and people live a bull shit life cause they make it that, so i think you shouldnt say stupid shit like this cause if i were you id probably never be on my computer, more specifically youtube

[TonyThriller]

@IngloriusBastard11 llol

[zMisterT]

@IngloriusBastard11

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!

[jityr2]

@IngloriusBastard11 Gosh nowadays I thought no matter what country you're in it would be plagued with hip hop. Even though in 1986 rock n' roll music was illegal in Malaysia.

[joevil2025]

@IngloriusBastard11 i believe J. Buffet said it best in his song "Overkill"

[BobbyRify]

@IngloriusBastard11 Well said buddy well said

[boschbeachbum]

I could listen to this all day,nice playing young man.

[deltaforce1919]

most peaceful music on earth.

[Tobzize]

i went to st.maarten and it was amazing

[manaph12]

I just love the sounds of the steel drums. I makes u feel like yr on a vacation to the caribbean dont u think? C:

[yiit1980]

@manaph12 even though never been to caribbean

[MrHansenator]

Awesome! 

[stlreader1]

This dude is the Wes Montgomery/George Benson of the Steel drum.

[IngloriusBastard11]

Live'n da life in da Islands man. We should all just quit our jobs and get out of here and tell Corporate America to go to hell. Who do you think is really happier? The man with all the money bowing to the man every day, or a person living in the Islands?

When I was in the Navy I travelled all through the Caribbean and loved it. It's a whole different life style.

[BoDiggety]

@IngloriusBastard11 i'm in

[drunkenbeatle]

the reason the steel drums are so brilliant is not because they sound good, but because they sound fun

[Newcomingmusic]

@drunkenbeatle and because they sound good.

[KC816KC]

Wow!! my band director told me to look up steel drum solo.. And now thanks to him.. I'm hooked.

How do you know where to hit. Anyway you have some great talent. Some thing about about that instrument that makes me calm.

[SeknaTS]

There are indents on the drums that have specific notes, you can't see them in the video though.

[gawka1]

Actually, you can see them, if you look closely.

[SeknaTS]

Actually... yea h you're right.

[DaneFredericksen]

[JerrysTube]

Nice playing...!  One thing I've noticed while watching these steel drums being played....they Draw People like you wouldn't believe. There must be something in us that is touched by them.

Nice video.
