Legendary panist Robert Greenidge speaks on the Rudolph Charles version and origin of the Triple-Second steelpan
A When Steel Talks Exclusive
“About the triple-second; yes, Rudolph came up with the Idea when we wanted to extend the range of the double seconds so we could get lower notes. But he went even further, and came up with the Quadrophonics using four drums and even a wider range, to play melodies and harmonies. So that took the place of the triple-second. Even though I still have my set and use them when I am doing recording sessions. I think D’Radoes uses them; also Despers in NY - But Desperadoes in Trini does not use them..." Robert Greenidge
