Photo of Dereck "Chinee" Ayum Steelpan artist Dereck "Chinee" Ayum Steelpan artist "Dereck was a joy to have at our event. He arrived early and suffered through the heat for his waiting time and 1 hour performance. His music was fun and upbeat and thoroughly enjoyed by all." Based in Brampton, Ontario (9 miles from Mississauga) 2nd July 2026 St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Assoc. - Canada Day Celebration Photo of Ba Chinois Ba Chinois "“Kept the vibe perfect all night. Great communication and musical awareness.” — Event Client" Based in Montréal, Quebec (327 miles from Mississauga) Mr Lee - Festival Photo of Fabiandrums Fabiandrums "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." Based in Manhattan, New York, United States (349 miles from Mississauga) 1st July 2026 Carlos Sanchez - SANCHEZ WEDDING 🎉 Photo of Alex Alexander Alex Alexander "Alex is always in time, inventive and giving a great feel to whatever he plays on!

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for percussionists ranges from $150 to $2,400+, with an average of $550. 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.

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.
