 Drums, sticks, and other objects (from shamanism) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Basically, a drum is either a tube or a bowl of wood, metal, or pottery (the “shell”) covered at one or both ends by a membrane (the “head”), which is usually struck by hand or stick.
Steel drums with capacities ranging up to 100 U.S. gallons (379 litres) have been produced since about 1903; the sizes less than 12 gallons (45 litres) are called pails.
The drums are yoked together, and the two heads—which are about 5 inches (13 centimeters) and about 7 inches (18 centimeters) across—are nailed or rod tensioned.

 North Coast Journal - July 31, 2003: COVER STORY - Pan Man: Michael Skweir beats steel drums in more ways than one
While outfitting a steel drum band may not be as expensive as buying instruments for a regular orchestra, well-made pans don't come cheap.
In a recent visit it was full of oil drums in various stages, some whole, some cut in half; pans-in-progress lay on makeshift tables, and finished steel drums rested on metal stands.
In between stages the drum is heated on a gas burner, tempering the metal, hardening the surface that has become malleable from pounding.

 Justice Department Approves Proposal by Russell-Stanley Corp. to Be Prime Contractor for Industrial Steel Drums Sold in ...
Russell-Stanley asserts that the cost of transporting steel drums from its manufacturing plants to the customer is sufficiently high as to limit the geographic area within which it can efficiently compete.
Recently certain large customers of steel drums have indicated a preference for purchasing all of their U.S. steel drum needs from a single source because they do not want to have to negotiate price and other terms with multiple suppliers.

 About the Steel Drum
The Steel Drum, or Pan, is a unique instrument, and one of the most recently invented.
Deprived of the drums, the Trinidadians turned to the 'Bamboo Tamboo', where each member of the group would carry a length of bamboo and pound it on the ground as the group walked through the streets, producing distinctive rhythmic 'signatures' which identified each gang.
There are two competitions, one for the popular songs of the year, and a separate contest which showcases both the technical ability of each band and the versatility of the steel drum by presenting highly orchestrated classical pieces.
