About Us

Steel Drums Unlimited is a small business in Morgantown, West Virginia dedicated to bringing you the best quality steel drums for a great price. Our instruments are all hand made in Trinidad and Tobago by my good friend Barry Yates, of the Renegades Steel Band, and his team of builders and tuners. Barry and his team build these great drums from start to finish. They source the raw materials from local factories, sink, groove, fire and tune the drums, and then ship them off to me.

It all started in 2003, when I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to Trinidad and Tobago.  I spent about 6 months on the Island. In this time, I learned the history of island and its people, the history of their famous Carnival celebrations, and the evolution of the steel drum. I learned how the instrument was built, why it was built, and how important it was to Trinidad. I worked with builders to experience first hand all of the labor that is involved in building these drums with no power tools at all. I was fortunate to learn about the social – political history of Trinidad at the same time as working with several different steel drum makers. The Steel Drum is closely linked to history of the people of this nation and shows how great things can come from some of the most adverse of situations. I became good friends with several fine builders and tuners, who are now managing teams of builders to supply Steel Drums Unlimited.  

My name is Andrew White. I own and operate Steel Drums unlimited and I Thank you for your business
