Photo of Traffic Jam spectacular Traffic Jam spectacular "Thank you for the amazing evening traffic jam .....❤️" 24th July 2026 Kartik - Private Photo of Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' "BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A ​"Garry King as a drummer and producer brings a quality of musicianship and professionalism seldom seen. He is just the kind of person our industry needs." ​" 18th August 2026 BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A - Drummer Photo of Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion) Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion) "Incredibly talented and great guy! Christos played percussion alongside our DJ and a saxophonist at our wedding. Despite little prep time and a bespoke playlist from us, Christos’’ percussion was an amazing addition to the DJ and really got the party started - playing alongside a range of music from blues / disco to house music. I also have no doubt Christos would’ve been a great choice to DJ himself alongside his percussion and would definitely recommend for any similar events. He is also a great guy and built a great connection with us and all our guests. Highly recommend!" 3rd September 2026 Lewis M - Private Wedding Photo of Strings Of The Heart Strings Of The Heart "“Amazing and mesmerizing Classical Duo.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring drummers is $300, with prices from $95 to $1,100+. 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.

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.

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.

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.
