	Steel Drum Music: History
		Almost all Steeldrums are still made from the bottom side of a 55-gallon oil barrel.
		The Steeldrum is the only musical instrument invented in the 20th Century.
		The sound is not generated from the size or weight of a piece of metal the way a xylophone is. Each section of the surface of a Steeldrum is tightened and loosened with a hammer by a skilled tuner.

	The Steelpan - From Origins to the New Millennium
		Duelled with the emergence of the new steeldrum instrument themselves, was the development of the musical forms that were to be played upon them.
		The adherents of the steelpan had a turbulent passage in bringing their interpretation of this rhythmic art-form, a new and dynamic shape in percussive musical expression, to the level of musical and social acceptance that it currently enjoys internationally today.
		The development of the steeldrum instrument ran in parallel with the development of the steelbands, and everything had a cyclic connection.

	Pantonic Steel Orchestra hosts Workshops for UConn Steeldrum Students - from the New York Steelband World
		It is the first time that UConn Steeldrums have been afforded the opportunity to partake in such a unique steelpan workshop.
		Stephens said although there were steelbands in Connecticut, he believed that it was very important that UConn Steeldrum students have the opportunity to experience first hand, the instruments played by people who are the "originators." Dr. Stephens also thought it critical to observe that process in as close to its natural environment as possible.
		Dr. Stephens actually includes pan as part of his own music course at the University, although it is not yet possible for students to opt for the steelpan as their instrument of choice, as is the case in other educational institutions such as Northern Illinois University, and Florida Memorial University.
