About

The steel drums are a great way to add to that festive ambience of your special day! I perform along to pre-recorded background music of the highest quality to bring the sound of a full Caribbean band to any cocktail hour or reception at a very affordable price. In a typical music set, I blend the rhythms and sounds of traditional Trinidadian Calypso, Jamaican Reggae, Brazillian Bossa Nova and American Jazz and popular music. Holding this all together is the evocative sound of the Caribbean steel drum, made by one of the finest steel drum craftsman in the world. Please take a moment to listen to the sounds clips on my website. Contact me for more details.

Fantastic!!! Would hire again in a heartbeat!!

Dan recently performed at our outdoor rehearsal dinner at Erie Yacht Club and Dan was AMAZING!!! Our guests loved how relaxing it made them feel and Dan brought vacation to us and our family this year!! We can’t thank Dan enough for making our wedding plans very special! Dan is so easy to work with and his flexibility was so appreciated! One of the best nights of my life 🌅 Highly recommend!!!

We hired Dan for our July 21, 2017 wedding to play during cocktails. It was honestly the best money we spent -- Dan's music and his energy were exactly what we needed! Our original plan was to have the ceremony outside, but rain changed that. It ended up being kind of a last minute decision to move inside, but Dan was flexible and made it happen. At our request (well before the wedding), Dan and our ceremony musicians (horns and drums) worked together to end the ceremony and start the cocktails with the same song as the guests walked over; the whole place was filled with this awesome sound, which was my favorite part of the day! We got so many compliments from the guests about Dan; don't hesitate to hire him!

Hello! My husband and I had our wedding on July 21st, 2012. Since it was during the summer, we decided to go with a Hawaiian theme. We even had our bridal party in tropical attire and flip flops! After searching through dozens of bands, I was sure we would not find the "perfect band." Then I found Dan. From the first email sent to the end of the wedding day, he was wonderful. The guests absolutely loved him! He kept the guests dancing and he blended right in with the tropical setting. You would have thought we were at Kauai! He was professional and had a very caring personality. I would recommend him as a bride and as the owner of Steady Creek Cinema, LLC. Dan, thank you for all of your hard work and effort, it was greatly appreciated! :)

Daniel, you made my wedding & cocktail hour! I've had so many of my friends & family who were at my wedding comment on how awesome the steel drums were & how they made the wedding! You were able to create the atmosphere and island vibe that we were hoping for. The steel drums transformed my wedding from something that was just another outside wedding to the island destination wedding in Pittsburgh that we hoped it would be! Thank you so very much for your music. You made our wedding day magical & unique! I will definitely keep you in mind for the future, (since you were apart of our special day) & recommend you to anyone who is looking for an AWESOME steel drum player!
Sincerely,
Sonya & Jason Fletcher

Mr. Meunier did a great job providing steel drum music during our cocktail hour at the reception. The volume was perfect--not so loud that you couldn't talk over it but definitely adding to the celebratory ambience. I received many comments that it was a nice touch and something different.

Mr. Meunier was responsive and professional. He delivered exactly what we contracted for.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We absolutely enjoy Daniel's steel drum music. We hired Daniel to play the ceremony and cocktail music for our daughter's wedding in August 2009 - she had an destination style wedding outside at the Chadwick. His music created the island atmosphere that we needed and our guests really enjoyed the music. We also hired Daniel to play at our youngest daughter's graduation picnic. Also, we have been at other events where he has played. Great to work with and a great musician.
