Photo of Djavad Percussionist Djavad Percussionist "Djavad at our event was absolutely fantastic! His energy was contagious, and he brought such a vibrant, joyful atmosphere to the entire evening. Not only was he incredibly talented, but he also knew exactly how to engage the crowd and keep everyone smiling and dancing. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved his performance. He truly made the event unforgettable!"

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 (1,950 miles from Sharjah) 3rd September 2026 Lewis M - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for percussionists ranges from AED440 to AED6,500+, with an average of AED1,500. 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.
