Based in Oshawa, Ontario Adrian (Vocalist) Photo of Limin Vybz Music Limin Vybz Music "This was our first time hiring Allan for an event and he exceeded our expectations. Great set-up and professional to deal with throughout the process. Thanks for elevating our event this year, we will reach out again in the future. Great job!"

He arrived early and suffered through the heat for his waiting time and 1 hour performance. His music was fun and upbeat and thoroughly enjoyed by all." Based in Brampton, Ontario (48 miles from Oshawa) 2nd July 2026 St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Assoc. - Canada Day Celebration Photo of Ba Chinois Ba Chinois "“Kept the vibe perfect all night. Great communication and musical awareness.” — Event Client" Based in Montréal, Quebec (281 miles from Oshawa) Mr Lee - Festival Photo of Fabiandrums Fabiandrums "Hiring the singer and percussionist for our wedding's hora loca was hands down the best decision. Right from the start, the energy of the party skyrocketed. The singer is incredibly charismatic and perfectly masterclass at hyping up the crowd, and pairing that with the live beats of the percussion was on another level—it brought so much power to every song! They managed to get absolutely everyone on the dance floor, even those who usually stay seated at least grand ma and grandpa they were clapping. We highly recommend them if you want a truly unforgettable wedding."

I highly recommend him as a drummer and percussionist." Based in New York, United States (331 miles from Oshawa) Joy Askew - Songwriter

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring drummers is $420, with prices from $140 to $1,500+. Pricing depends on the style of drumming, performance length, equipment requirements and whether the drummer is performing solo or as part of an ensemble. Options range from percussive DJ sets and body percussion to traditional acoustic drum performances.

The drummers on Gig Heaven include drum kit players, tabla players, djembe players, cajon players and electronic drum performers. Many drummers are versatile session musicians who can perform as soloists, join an existing band or provide percussion alongside a DJ.

Events that commonly feature drummers include corporate events, parties, product launches, DJ sets that need live percussion, recording sessions and team-building workshops. Live drumming adds energy and visual spectacle to any event.

Many drummers specialise in performing live percussion alongside a DJ set, adding a dynamic, visual element to dance music. This combination is popular at weddings, corporate parties and club events. It is worth discussing this format with the performer when making an enquiry.

Most drummers bring their own drum kit or percussion instruments. For larger venues, microphones and additional amplification may be needed to balance the drums with other performers or a PA system. It is advisable to confirm equipment and space requirements before the event.
