“Thomas Crash Drumming”
"Mr. Thomas filled in with very minimum notice. He was on time and rehearsed. Very easy to work with and takes direction wry well and always kept a very professional attitude. We will be working together again. I highly recommend…"

"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."

"Robert was awesome on every level. I really appreciated his solid drumming skills and the sounds. Normally I’m annoyed by drummers - Simply because they’re too loud. But Robert was better than that! And the percussion foundation he played for both rehearsals and the show was off the charts!
Robert was professional, timely, hard working and clear in his communication.
Most of my songs were pop. 1 tune was more alternative rock. He toggled between the styles easily, kept a steady beat, established good tempos & always with a supportive attitude.
I would highly recommend him for any band or musician in need of a drummer."
Steel Drum Player
"When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice!
Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion.
