All steel pans require specialized instrument stands that allow them to hang freely so they will resonate properly when played. Our Economy Tripod stand is a very durable height-adjustable stand, with a collapsible base allowing for quick set up. The Economy Stand has a one piece top (shaped like an American football goal post) and is a good solid steel pan stand.
For steel bands that have a number of steel pans, it is very convenient, since a quantity of these stands can be transported with the top still fastened into the tripod base. This makes setup of a larger steel band exceptionally fast, since there is only one motion required (to extend the legs on the base) for the setup of each stand. Ask about the Stand Cart that transports a large number of these stands for easy and quick set-up.
The tops on our stands are sturdy aluminum that keeps the overall weight of the stands to only about 5.0 pounds. This is helpful for players who need to carry their steel pan and stand for a distance onto beaches or up to balconies, etc.
