THIS IS WHY I am now going to be the BIGGEST ADVOCATE OF SYNTHESIZED PAN MUSIC where you can CONTROL THE TIMBRE AND TONALITY of THE NOTES.
I Have been playing pan for a very long and I can't remember anyone telling me or asking me why am I beating the pan,however I know that I have a little hearing problem because people sometimes ask why am I speaking so loud so I have to try and control it. that makes me believe that being in the pan yard (may)have cause it and I do believe that (maybe) some players need to beat the pan because they have the same problem. However I believe the drillers and arrangers should hold themselves responsible for players beating the pans. maybe someone can explain this to me when the band is practicing the intro they are told that the very first note should be powerful. could that be possible in any other way.
Back in 1961, if you did not learn how to treat your instrument properly in Invaders' yard, the elders would take your sticks and tell you to leave … and don't come back!

Firstly boogers builds his tension on a very high standard.Teach these guys to plays musical passages not just up and down a scale. Go by boogers, Robbie, Jason, ray, or even Andre and Kareem, or Dougie for lessons story telling not nursery rhymes
When I came up, many of the tuners used to warn young players not to beat the pan hard, because they would be back sooner than later to have it re-tuned, hmm...
Here's the thing. When asked to do a slow piece, they PLAY the pan. When asked to do a fast(calypso) piece, they tend to bang on the pans. Education is the key, they must be taught to differentiate between soft and fast, loud(give/take) and slow.
That is so true.
We have 2 bring back d steelpan music festival only then will present day panmen understand that fast passages can b played softly, bcause d music will demand it
