Working with "Andy Narrell Steel Pans Ellie Mannette Collection" (live pan vs sample)

"These steelpan samples take pan right into the 21st century! I use them with Cubase and the PanKAT, a perfect combination. Here is an example: https://youtu.be/bPpXiUCrcgs"

Working with the PanGanG

Hallo, dear friends :-)
Pan in Germany is growing! After leaving pan-kultur I teach music at Calypsonic e.V., Institute for SteelPan and Calypso, Dortmund and this is what we achieved since 1999, when we started. It was only possible with the help of all those who created Calypso and Pan. Special thanks to Glenda Gamory, Dessy (PanRadio), WhenSteelTalks, Basement Records and of cause to all of you...!

2015: All this is history. In 2013 my steel orchestra decided to go on without me, so I had to start all over again. But nevertheless - considering that I started with 4 to 6 years old kids in 1999 I did all I could do as a music teacher to take my students to this level: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=323015051194582

Now I returned to the beginning once again helping kids to enter the world of music with steel pans:

I listened to the performance of my tune "Pan Hip" by your group and thought they did a very good job. I'm glad they won first prize in the jazz competition. I hope you continue to have great success with your group.
