Due to a lack of exposure, many people think that the steel pan is only 1 drum.  This isn't true.  There are many different pans that make up a steel band.  I've created this infographic to give everyone some more knowledge about the different pans.

Hopefully this infographic gave you insight about the different pans in a steel band.
