Just posted this clip in the jazz forum as a response to "The Chicken" thread and watching it realised that about 5 minutes in there's a steel pans jazz solo so thought you guys might be interested.

I agree; it's impressive! It's pretty much the same as on any tuned percussion, though!
In case anyone's interested, courtesy of thejazz, I've just found out the name of the steel pans player in the clip - Othello Molineaux, and his website
