￥The “Steelpan Concepts” sample pack from Rare Percussion features unique melodic loops and creatively processed one-shots designed to inspire new compositions and to fill out existing arrangements.

The Steelpan, hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, is a unique pitched percussion instrument with a heavenly sparkle and rich resonance. As one of the more recently invented percussion instruments, it’s usefulness across different genres is only now being explored.

 

The subtleness of beautifully crafted Double Second Steelpans was captured in great detail with Beyerdynamic Ribbon and Neumann large diaphragm condenser microphones. Additional saturation and vibe were imparted via classic Universal Audio LA-610 tube preamps. As with all the Rare Percussion offerings, be prepared for new ideas and exciting deviations from your average sample packs.
