A steel pan is a carefully crafted, finely tuned instrument, so protecting it from knocks and bumps is essential. Whether you're heading to a gig, travelling to rehearsals, or simply storing your pan at home, the Percussion Plus Hammer Series Steel Pan Case provides strong, reliable protection.
Made from tough, moulded ABS plastic, the Hammer Series case is built to withstand the demands of regular use. Inside, 4cm of protective foam padding cushions your instrument, with a recessed area around the top making it easy to set up and pack away without compromising protection
The case fits steel pans up to 23.5in in diameter, with a maximum bowl depth or skirt length of 10in.
Three sturdy carry handles make the case comfortable to lift and transport, while the heavy-duty webbing strap and oversized clips keep the case securely closed. The flattened base also means it can be stored upright, helping you make the most of your available space.
From the rehearsal room to the stage and everything in between, the Hammer Series case is a simple, dependable way to look after your steel pan.
Please note Priced per case.

Both steel pans and steel drums refer to the same thing. Steel pan players will often use rolls, which are rapid fire playing of the same note many times to create a more continuous sound. This allows for stimulated playing of longer notes that maintain their strength rather than decaying such as a single hit would produce.
