Photo of Jamez juke Jamez juke "*Review of JamezJuke – 702 Afternoons Unplugged (12 September)* It was an absolute pleasure hosting JamezJuke on our Unplugged session on 702 Afternoons with Relebogile. From the start, he was professional, responsive, and provided all the information we requested promptly. He arrived on time for both his interview and performance, which made the experience seamless and enjoyable. His acoustic performance was nothing short of soulful and beautiful a true reflection of his artistry and talent. JamezJuke is a gifted young musician with a bright future ahead, and it was wonderful to share his music with our listeners."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring drummers is R4,900, with prices from R1,600 to R18,500+. 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.
