You very likely already have the Tubular Bells and Steel Drums already.

Tubular Bells are part of the Standard GM MIDI patch set. Patch number is 15.

Steel Drums Patch number is 115.

Better sounding MIDI synths yield much more realistic sounds and in the case of the Tubular Bells, is very easy for MIDI to duplicate with very good realism.

Steel Drums are also available in various MIDI synth patch sets, especially those synths that include Upper Banks with more sound and instruments in them.

Steel Drum samples also lend themselves to very realistic MIDI usage because they, too, are Percussive in sound with not a terribly long decay.
