Photo of Paolo Amon Paolo Amon "Paolo is simply amazing! I booked him for a party and his energy was dope. He is a nice guy too, no words :) 10 /10 for sure. Will book him again. Thanks Paolo" Based in Dublin, Leinster 29th June 2026 Andrea Photo of Jerry Miles Jerry Miles "I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jerry Miles as a guitarist for my 40th birthday celebration at my house, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with his performance. Jerry's exceptional talent and professionalism truly made my event a memorable and enjoyable experience. One of the standout moments for me was when Jerry went above and beyond by learning a song that I specifically requested. It meant a lot to me, and I was absolutely thrilled when he flawlessly performed it during the event. I have no problem recommending Jerry for any event Tom, Deleek." Based in Dublin, Leinster Tom Butler Photo of Impulse Event 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!!!"

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

Pricing for percussionists ranges from €90 to €1,500+, with an average of €360. 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.
