Jerry Lopatin, the originator of the Phoenix based STEELE SOUND was one of the first American musicians to learn these unique instruments native to the Caribbean island of Trinidad back in 1967. Having played professionally in New York City for many years, Jerry was the first musician to introduce the sound of steel drums (pan) to the Valley of the Sun back in 1974.
