• I can't thank the members of Nu Pan Groove Steel Drum Band enough for their performance yesterday. The party was such a success! Max was professional and accomodating from start to finish. They were set up and ready to go when the party started and interacted with all the children making my daughter's 10th birthday party a very special day! I would highly recommend this band to people of all ages! We had a great time. Thank you so much! I will have to find an excuse to have another party just so I can have them back! -- Carla S, Rolling Hills Estates, CA, 6/20/2009
• Max and his partner were everything we had hoped for. My wife's 40th was something she will never forget thanks to Nu Pan Groove. She's been bragging to everyone how great her birthday was and the first thing she mentions is the steel drums! Thanks Max for making it top notch. I scored points this year! -- Ron D, Huntington Beach, CA, 5/30/2009
• Max was completely professional. He arrived on time, set up on time, was friendly, courteous and very talented. Everyone at the party (75), young and old, enjoyed his music. I would highly recommend him. I hope he gets a few new engagements due to his performance. Beverly Childers -- Beverly C, Laguna Woods, CA, 11/9/2008
• Max of the Nu Pan Groove Steel Drum Band was very professional, on time and delivered his service very well. He actually added so much flavor to our VIP event. I highly recommended Max to any High Class Events. A Good Australian Wine, Fundo Center Pieces and Max's Steel Drum Sound, you are set for a very successful VIP Event. At the end of the night, all our guests wanted to take Max home...LOL Great job Max. We will continue to use your service in the future. You are the best.

• We had a 2-piece steel drum arrangement and they performed great. The atmosphere created by the steel drum players was unique and very enjoyable. They arrived 30 minutes early to set up and were very easy to communicate with. We would defintiely hire the Nu Pan Groove Steel Drum Band again. -- Joseph C, Lakewood, CA, 9/20/2008

• So professional, so cordial, so thorough and so entertaining; the 4 guys wowed us and played quite a variety...also, educating us about what they do, how they do it, and even a lesson on the steel drum itself! We will definitely recommend them and have them back again. We had a big turnout and they were so enjoyed by all ages. Thanks so much again for your excellent customer service...a lost art these days.
