Reviews of Drummers available in Milwaukee

5/5 from 130 reviews
Photo of luna on drums luna on drums "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."

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!"

It’s a wild ride and sometimes it seems to be laughing at the listener… then there are the boats of jazzy pillows that carry you across the rapids. Very cool" Based in Knoxville, Tennessee (533 miles from Milwaukee) Lydia Nicole - Private Photo of Sean Leak-Smash Panda Sean Leak-Smash Panda "We call Sean anytime we book gigs for our Southern Rock/Bar playlist band. He is solid with playing and helps us with sound as well. We depend on flexibility, and he has zero DIVA about him! Always a good show with him." Based in Atlanta, Georgia (669 miles from Milwaukee) Johnny P. - Fill in for cover band gig(s) Photo of Crossfire Blues Crossfire Blues "“Beautiful, powerful start with "These Eyes". Powerhouse vocals, blues content is "spot on". Thank you for all the originals. Engage stage presence. Really enjoyed your wide vocal range. There are so many Blues categories, you defied every one of them. DON'T STOP, KEEP IT UP. Very Refreshing. You are in a class by yourself.” --from 2024 Blues Challenge" Based in Athens, Georgia (673 miles from Milwaukee) Blues challenge judge - Atlanta Blues Challenge

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.
