Many offer services ranging from subtle background percussion during dinner to high-energy performances that get guests dancing. Live percussionists often maintain relationships with other musicians, making it easier to arrange ensemble performances when needed.

Impulse Event "Amazing renting! Thank you for delivering on time and to be super communicative and responsible. Some other ones have been so straight and not helpful, and you have a human approach and also work with quality. Good job guys!!!"

DJ Douglas Jones "Steve Taylor — 20 September 2023 Wedding In Chamonix, France "Douglas was recommended to us by a very close friend; we needed someone for our wedding in Chamonix. We had around 60 people travelling from the UK and we needed someone we could trust to put on a great party for us. Douglas did just that. From first contact he made us feel like we were in safe hands. He helped us create a set list with our friend and managed his part with the venue so we didn’t have anything to worry about. The night was way beyond our wildest expectations; from the first track until the last one, the floor was full. Music to suit everyone from my 85-year-old father in law to the ravers in the group. I cannot recommend Douglas highly enough." Based in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 24th November 2025 Steve Taylor - Wedding

Drummer/Percussion "Amazing entertainment by Davide Rodrigues at our corporate dinner! Highly recommend for any cocktail or dinner ambiance! Thank you!" Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District, Portugal 18th September 2026 Pamela Dory - ConferenceDirect

Strings Of The Heart "“Strings of the Heart was beyond amazing! Our guests really enjoyed the music, and they are lovely people to work with. Thank you so much for making our evening an absolute success!” — Jasmine S., Verified GigSalad Review" Based in Metter, Georgia, United States 5th September 2026 Jasmine S. - Private Event

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!" Based in Mykonos, South Aegean, Greece 3rd September 2026 Lewis M - Private Wedding
