5/5 from 206 reviews
Photo of Look Sharp Band Look Sharp Band "Wow! I cannot thank Les and his team enough. He made our wedding so incredibly fun and did an awesome job as MC, especially because he didn’t know us personally but it felt like he did the whole night. There was never an empty spot on the dance floor and Les knew how to work the room. From 2 year olds through to 70 year olds, everyone was up and dancing! I cannot thank him enough. His professionalism was amazing and his voice is unreal! Highly recommend! See you when we have to renew our vows Les!"

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for percussionists ranges from $160 to $2,450+, with an average of $600. Rates depend on the type of percussion, performance duration and the performer's experience. Options range from African djembe and Latin percussion to tabla, cajon and tailored percussive performances.

The percussionists on Gig Heaven include drum kit players, congas and bongos players, djembe specialists, steel pan players, tabla musicians, cajon players, vibraphone players and multi-percussionists. Many are versatile session musicians who can adapt to a wide range of musical styles.

Events that commonly feature percussionists include corporate events, parties, DJ sets needing live percussion, recording sessions, drum circles, team-building workshops and cultural events. Live percussion adds energy, rhythm and a visual element to any performance.

Many percussionists offer interactive drumming workshops where guests participate together, playing rhythms as a group. This is a popular choice for corporate team-building events, school programmes and festival activities. It is a good idea to discuss workshop formats with the percussionist.

Most percussionists bring their own percussion instruments and any stands or accessories needed. For workshops, the percussionist often provides instruments for all participants. It is worth confirming what equipment is included, especially for group workshops.
