Active ImagePAN 2000 & Beyond was founded over eight years ago, by its manager Leroy Wilson, a pannist who conceptualized the idea to improve the appearance of steelpan accessories.

Employed at the time as a pannist with The Trinidad & Tobago Showboat Steel Orchestra, he performed at the popular US family-fun destination called Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

Having been a professional pannist for ten years prior to that, he saw the need to upgrade the steelpan industry with his skills and ideas and decided to bring these quality products onto the market. Pan Sticks were the first to be improved and then came the cases for them, followed by the cases for the instrument.

Leroy had known first hand the deficiencies associated with finding items to complement his overall image. He made it a priority to supply these accessories and out of that was birthed PAN 2000 & Beyond.

At PAN 2000 & Beyond, the tradition has been established of providing customers with products of consistent quality on the promised delivery date at fair prices.

Quality is one of the top objectives and so we work hard to create products which meet or exceed our customers expectations. We understand the importance of good communication with our customers, and that's why we strive to have a greater range of products available in more places than any of our competitors.

We have outfitted entire steel bands such as:
The Trinidad and Tobago National Steel Orchestra
The Trinidad and Tobago Regiment Band
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service Band
The Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service Band
Phase II Pan Groove Steel Orchestra
TCL Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra
Trinidad All Stars
Halcion Steel Orchestra out of Antigua
Exodus Steel Orchestra
Carey Codrington and Family..and so many others...

Pannists known around the world have partnered with us to equip themselves for both local and international engagements:
Len 'Boogsie' Sharpe
Ray Holmon
Noel La Pierre
Duvonne Stewart.

We have also worked alongside respected tuners such as:
Roland Harrigan
Andy Neals
Duppy Brown
Ager Mayers and others...

Active ImageOur innovative and pioneering owner, Leroy WIlson, has been both nominated and awarded the NIHERST 2004 President's Award for Innovators and Inventors in 2004 and 2005 respectively for developing pan sticks for the G-Pan as well as inventing electronic pan sticks...

From a business perspective, we acknowledge that in this arena, which can be somewhat seasonal, market diversification is neccessary in order to better withstand the effects of economic down-turns. Because of this, our methods of operation are constantly being developed to expand our capabilities and enhance the product range while sustaining continued growth.

We look forward to supplying the world with quality, authentic steelpan accessories from Trinidad and Tobago.
