Steel drums or steel pan musical instrument app is a virtual instrument of the unusual musical instrument that originated in Trinidad and Tobago and is commonly used on Latin, Caribbean, and Afro-Latino/Afro-Cuban jazz music. The app features eight (8) types of steel drums according to note as follows: Low Tenor or C-Lead Pan, High Tenor Pan, Double Tenor Pans, Double Second Pans, Double Guitar Pans, Cello Pan, Tenor Bass Pans, and Six Bass Pans.

The keys of the steel pan are pressure sensitive on compatible phones which means that hitting the keys lightly produces low-level sounds while hitting the keys hard produces loud sounds. Another important and interesting feature of Steel Drums Musical Instrument app is a music player that is loaded with eleven (11) sampled play along sound loops for jamming or practice playing. There are two playlist buttons; one for tracks that are packaged with the app and one for online streaming. To play the loops, simply long-press either of the two playlist buttons and select a sample from the playlist. The sound loop samples /backing tracks featuring musical styles consisting of bossanova, calypso, reggae, rhumba flamenco, r&b, samba, pop, blues, rock, soul, country, ballad, and dance styles were arranged, performed, and recorded by the developer using built-in musical styles on his own Yamaha PSRS 900 keyboard. More backing tracks and other features will be added during the app's development life cycles to provide users with quality musical performance entertainment.

The app is better enjoyed on devices with medium to large screens but is also playable on normal-sized smartphones. It is good for learners and for seasoned players who are open to the idea of playing portable virtual instruments on their Android devices.

This musical steel pan/drums free app contains banner and interstitial ads. However, for those who prefer not to see ads, there is also an ad-free PRO version available for paid download on the app store for a minimal fee.

I gave it a 3 Because at this point I have no way of knowing period between all of the commercials and data about me I was supposed to put in. I have not had a chance to play It yet. And I've been on the app for 35 minutes. You Need to have a strong background in musical language to use this app (which is kinda dumb because tongue drums are marketed as easy for non musical backgrons to learn. I can not find the drum that matches mine and to briefly look at each one I have to watch commercials.

Some of the notes make a weird clicking sounds. A few things you can do to make the app better are: Making the notes bigger. My thumbs and fingers cannot hit the notes. Adding more varieties of steel pan. You did this with the tenner pans but for things like cello I cannot play them because I play a different variety. Overall a decent app but a few slight changes could make this app one of the best free steel pan music app on the market.

The developer of the game suggested I recommend another app that was better than there's, I did so, as I downloaded the second app after I was disappointed with there's. I understand how this looks unethical but I am solely a consumer. The other app, despite what was falsely mentioned by the developer has multiple layouts and keys you can perform the steel drums in. I do not wish to reinstall the game and capture the issue that I had as I do not feel obligated to do the developers job for them.

This app is trash I play pan irl but I don't own one so I downloaded the app to practice some songs I was learning and the notes are completely mixed up there are missing notes I play double tenor, double second and double guitar all the notes on those pans are completely scrabbled and make no sense would not recommend downloading if it was possible I wouldn't even leave one star

Very useful app! I do with the double second was not turned more inward as in person, all of the double seconds I have played were not like this. The ads is a VERY big problem for me. I also do not see the need they require my sex, internet as well as my location.

This game is good and all but I keep getting weird notifications like "FREE BETS AT WILLIAM HILL!" and antivirus stuff. Please remove this. (EDIT) Im sorry but these ads are redirecting you to an unsafe website,which takes your personal info.These ads are not preferred.To add on,these ads are getting spammed at me. If kids download this app and see this,they might want to click on the notification and get their parents information stolen.
