DOUBLE SECONDS

Click above to watch how double seconds are played.

Double second pans are a pair of steel pans with 15 pitches each fabricated from a 55-gallon oil drum. The 15 oval bosses on each pan are arranged by tri-tones and major thirds. The double second pans are versatile in the pan ensemble and can represent the melody or harmonic accompaniment in the ensemble. The rubber-headed aluminum beaters are lightweight to protect against putting the pitches out of tune during aggressive play.
