This drummer is already playing with the maturity and precision of someone who has been gigging for decades."

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 R4,950, with prices from R1,600 to R17,500+. 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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
