Steel Drums

[jvr2010ify]

yes that is true as steelband was invented in Trindad & Tobago.

[Kcdiddy]

I want to learn to play!!

[THISISAVERYCOOLNAME]

awsome!!

[m8s4lif]

At 0:40 you can see the name of the band. The BP Renegades. These people can make some beautiful music out of old oil drums. It just shows you, if you want to, you can make something beautiful out of just about anything.

[agratours]

Alar travel / Its very nice

[agratours]

his nice but very nice

[lizmannette]

Ok. I understand it is a 2 minute video and so has to be focused. But National Geographic seems to have ignored that people all over the world now play the instrument.

[iwillshine]

@lizmannette well T&T was where it was invented so I guess it's more the history of the instrument

[Webbula]

It's all about playing by ear.

[4evaFanFuruba]

[Zk8et]

[rickardo004]

this is so awesome.

[zephyrsimon]

I guess it is another way for the poor countries to make best of the fact that west is taking advantage of their natural resources.

[dramalilplayer]

@zephyrsimon Trinidad & Tobago is not one of the 'poor countries' as u say. what they showed you in this clip were just small villages and markets.

Trinidad & Tobago is listed within the Top 50 of the richest countries in the world, being #42 according the to CIA, and #33 according to the World Bank and ranked higher than countries like Saudi Arabia, China, Argentina, and the Russian Federation.

[awesome220]

@dramalilplayer wrong

[lilevy2790]

@dramalilplayer listed higher than china? and Russia? sorry but China is number two with 4.33 trillion for a gdp. and russia 1.68 trillion. trinidad and tobago are not even close. I don't care for the other countries

[JBOE02]

@lilevy2790 japan actually just surpassed china in wealth

[mlovecraftr]

@dramalilplayer Well, there is a difference between the wealth produced in a country and the quality of live of its citizens, maybe you should check the Human Development Index or Gini coefficient. Yeah, I have heard too that T&T`s economy has grown and kept high and the last years, but it is mainly in natural resources extraction and that doesn't usually brings many jobs or development to a country.

[d2pans]

@mlovecraftr Well said by @dramalilplayer. As one who's lived here over 10 years, I can vouch that statistics can be misleading. Only the small minority of "wealthy" people here, or the expats who "live wealthy" see this wealth. The rest of us catch our tails to make ends meet! Anything imported costs us almost 3 times what it's worth. And don't get me started on the state of healthcare, infrastructure, education, etc.

[MezzoForte4]

What an awesome instrument.

[moogs88]

T&T LARGEST LARGE

[badoc10]

Nice.

[UltimateGrobanite]

How does it make those sounds? I still don't get it, even after watching many steel drum videos...

[michu070]

@UltimateGrobanite ...i think its called.... physics? theres probably a reason. but simply. it just does

[d2pans]

@UltimateGrobanite Shaped and tempered correctly, it is an unamplified sound that rings out. Pannists tap the notes with rubber-ended mallets.

[luddomatic]

this guy who make this he is one in 1000000 , he should get more money that he get now

[sun3nee]

TRINIDAD REPRESENT BABY!!!!!!!

[UltimateKing011]

it aint just trini, its everywhere in the caribbean.

and yes its called a steelpan

[ekosiellenerailujleo]

@UltimateKing011 umm i think the point of the video is to show where steelpan came from which is TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO not other countries

[UltimateKing011]

@ekosiellenerailujleo your reply is far too late for me to give a proper, fully matured damn. sorry

[ekosiellenerailujleo]

@UltimateKing011 wow that was big of you never intended to hurt you or anything but if u take offence im soory BOSSMAN!
