Latitude Adjustment Steel Band - Atlanta, GA

Configurations:

The Latitude Adjustment Steel Band works in a variety of configurations based on the setting and/or budget considerations.

A solo performance consists of a lead pan accompanied by sequenced rhythm tracks (keyboard, bass, guitar, drums, percussion, and various other instruments so that the different tunes don't all end up sounding alike). This is a good choice for smaller venues such as receptions and is also the most economical. All the recorded examples on this site are solo pan and sequencer.


A duo consists of pan and keyboard or pan and guitar or pan and percussion (all combinations use drum tracks or sequencer). The choice of instruments would be determined by several factors. These might include the client's desire for vocals or how wild a crowd is expected (or desired).

A trio is generally lead pan, keyboard and drums. This adds the spontaneity and extra energy of having a live drummer along with more dynamic flexibility (softer and more laid-back for the "reception" time, louder and livelier as the event evolves or devolves into all-out party time).

A quartet would add either a wind player or percussionist or a harmony pan player (if available).
