Matt Potts — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 19:21:43 +0000

The EnSoul Pan Pickup is specifically designed to amplify any steelpan and produce pure, non-distorted tones. The magnet makes it easily attachable to the outside of your pan. Plug your amp or effects board into the 1/4-inch female jack to power your EnSoul Pan Pick Up. Included is a padded carrying case to ensure your EnSoul Pan Pickup arrives at the next gig or practice safely. The magnet jack mount is included for easy setup!

If your pan is an alloy or non-magnetic, make sure you use a Jack Mount (PPEXMT). Place the pickup on the outside of the shell and the mount directly opposite of the pickup on the inside. They will attract each other and should hold fast to your drum.

Potts & Pans Chrome C Lead Steelpan (aka low tenor or soprano pan)

The pictures and videos on this listing are of the actual pan you are purchasing, NOT just a generic example. It has never made sense to us that panists are expected to make the huge decision of what instrument to get without actually seeing or hearing the instrument. We are doing everything we can to change that. Is there something else you want to see? Let us know and we’ll add it to this listing. If you want to see something, chances are somebody else does too!

Matt Potts — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 20:37:59 +0000

Potts & Pans wood steelpan mallets are all about value and the natural feel of a wood stick. Something just feels right with wood, it probably goes all the way back to when cavemen starting hitting stuff with clubs. You can’t fight Mother Nature, and at $9.99, why bother?

C – 1/2″ (industry norm)

Tips available for lead pans are:
Yellow – hardest on A & B diameters
Red – hardest on C diameter
Brown – softest
