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" 29th June 2026 Andrea Photo of Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' "BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A ​"Garry King as a drummer and producer brings a quality of musicianship and professionalism seldom seen. He is just the kind of person our industry needs." ​" 18th August 2026 BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A - Drummer Photo of Impulse Event Impulse Event "Arthur and the whole Impulse team were absolutely brilliant for our wedding. From the earliest planning stages, Arthur was enthusiastic, organised, generous with his ideas, and genuinely invested in understanding the atmosphere we wanted to create. He took great care with every part of the day: the ceremony music, the transition into cocktail hour, coordination with our live jazz band, our Motown-style call to dinner, a beautifully paced dinner playlist, and the full after-party. He also handled all the technical and logistical details seamlessly, including sound, lighting, and the disco ball. Most importantly, Arthur really understood our musical taste and turned a lot of detailed playlists and ideas into a coherent, joyful musical journey. Arthur is not only a talented DJ, but also warm, collaborative, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. We are so grateful that he helped make our wedding such an unforgettable celebration. We could not recommend him more highly." 20th August 2026 Joyce Chow & Justin Tsui - Private Wedding 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!" 3rd September 2026 Lewis M - Private Wedding Photo of Strings Of The Heart Strings Of The Heart "“Amazing and mesmerizing Classical Duo. They really brought a refreshing classical twist to our event.” — Jamie, Corporate Event" 5th September 2026 Jamie - Corporate Event Photo of Drummer/Percussion Drummer/Percussion "I got a great review directly from the client on the venue. She mentioned that she searched widely for th kind of sound and performance I do and she was extremely happy in the end." 18th September 2026 Pamela - Organizer

Pricing for percussionists ranges from £85 to £1,250+, with an average of £300. 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.

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.
