About the Band
Sea Pans is a dynamic steel drum ensemble playing a variety of vibrant Caribbean music, including soca, calypso, bossa nova, samba, Latin, jazz, reggae and ska, along with energetic pop tunes infused with that special "island" sound.

We perform year round at weddings, festivals, corporate events, parties, restaurants, hotels and country clubs, varying the ensemble size and configuration from one to over 20 players based on our clients' needs. We have drums of diverse size and musical range and a lively rhythm section, so we can tailor our music to suit any venue or occasion.

 Steel Drum Magic
Few instruments produce a more evocative sound than the steel drum. One need only hear a few notes to be instantly swept away, in mind if not in body, to a beach with swaying palms and crystal clear waters. It's hard not to feel happy listening to them, and even harder not to get up and dance to their infectious, melodic rhythms.

About Our Name
All ensemble performers are professionally trained musicians who have chosen to play steel drums (also commonly called "Pans") near the North Carolina coast. Simply, we play the "pans" by the "sea" and we invite you to enjoy the jubilant energy of the "Sea Pans"
