Hi guys welcome back to my channel or welcome if you're coming here for the first time. On this installment of Sachelle and Steel I'll be doing types of sticks before we continue don't forget to like, subscribe and send this video to a beginner pannist. To begin, we start with the tenor pan sticks. The tenor sticks is the smallest of all the sticks. And like the other sticks, it can be made from different material such as wood, aluminum, steel or any light material. At the end of each of these sticks we have a small piece of rubber. In this instance, it is tubing rubber (rubber cut from a long tube into the required size per stick). The other type of rubber that we can have is wrapping rubber which we'll speak about later. (Have you subscribed yet?) Subscribe and hit the notification bell to never miss a video! <3 This pair of sticks slightly bigger than the tenor pan
sticks is used to play the Double Tenor or the Double Seconds steelpan.
As you can see, it is slightly longer and the rubber at the end is also tubing rubber. Here we have a size comparison
with each tenor pan sticks. Please note that the rubber one furthest right is what your rubber should not look like; as you will not get a proper sound. After the Double Tenor and Double Seconds pan we have the Guitar Pan. After the guitar pans we have the quadraphonics and the cellos which would utilize these sticks. As you can see the rubber is way larger than any of the rubbers you've seen before and it's also tubing rubber. (Interested in lessons? Link in bio to book a consultation and personal steelpan class!) Here is a size comparison with the tenor stick far left the middle stick being the Double Second and Double Tenor and far right: the cello, guitar
and quadrophonic sticks.
Please take note of the size of each of the rubbers. Here we have two guitar or cello sticks. For our purposes we'll refer to them as guitar sticks for now. However this here is called the wrap rubber while this one is the tubing rubber. The difference is simply that the rubber as it says is wrapped whereas the tubing rubber is usually applied with a pliers. Now we have a tenor bass stick which is approximately the same length as a guitar or cello stick and it has half a sponge ball on either side of the sticks. The six bass sticks is similar to that of the tenor bass; however, one side of stick has one whole sponge ball on the end.
In some cases there may be half a sponge ball which is sometimes cut for beginner pannists on the bass who may have a heavier hand. As usual, thank you for watching don't forget to subscribe and click the notification bell until next time Bye.
