Photo of RASPO Steel Band RASPO Steel Band "I do want to thank you and all your friends in RASPO most warmly for your lovely entertainment at our Summer Festival dinner, which was greatly enjoyed by all present." Based in Reading, England Brian - Summer Festival Dinner Photo of King Konga - Percussionist & DJ King Konga - Percussionist & DJ "What a fantastic duo! They were excellent from the start, helping us create the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband and were blown away by how they interacted with the crowd, knowing exactly when to play what songs for that moment’s vibe. The dancefloor was never empty. Music has always been important to us, and I can honestly say Si and Andy made our wedding day. I have already had friends from our wedding who work within the hospitality industry ask for their details as they are a well-rounded band and make any song memorable. We highly recommend and will be booking again for future events." Based in Bedford, England Karri - Wedding (DJ, sax and percussion duo) Photo of Ciaran O’Donovan Music Ciaran O’Donovan Music "Ciaran is a top entertainer- I booked him as a solo vocalist and he really is one of the best singers that I have worked with to date. Everything from all Jazz crooners to Ed Sheeran style upbeat songs, Ciaran has a voice that can do it all. I would absolutely work with Ciaran again and fully intend to." Based in St Albans, England Sarah Stratford - Private Event Booker Photo of High-energy Bongo Experience High-energy Bongo Experience "Krisztian is an outstanding percussionist. He knows when to add and when to hold back. He lives in the music and respects the song. He's good at getting the crowd going and inviting the listener. What I love about him is his creativity and how he isn't afraid to try new things and mix them up. He has his own style. And most importantly, he's reliable. A 10-star scale isn't big enough for this man." Based in Harringay, England Dan Oneils Music (Commercial events) Photo of Prem Royale Entertainment Prem Royale Entertainment "Prem provided something different for my jago entrance. Two dhol players and a folk singer. Everyone was on there feet, and the dancefloor was packed full of energy. Will definitely recommend prem" Based in Birmingham, England 8th April 2026 Jag - Jaggo Photo of Eternal Triangle Eternal Triangle "I met Trevor Watts and his Eternal Triangle band for the first time in 2022 at Cafè Oto in London. It was a fantastic concert, I really enjoyed everything from the band. The percussionist Jamie Harris provided a strong and vigorous accompaniment with his bongos and cymbals, keyboardist Veryan Weston added his immaginific sounds to the ensemble and Trevor Watts stood out for his inventiveness, freshness of phrasing and audience involvement. It was a joy to meet the band members after the show and remain in contact with them over time. We were able to put together a first Italian tour in February 2025 and we're looking forward for new shared adventures. The great musicality of this projects makes it enjoyable from any kind of audience, from people not familiar with creative music to fine jazz connaisseurs. Trevor Watts is undoubtedly one of the main protagonist of European jazz and the work he has done with this band is simply amazing and worth to be discovered. Very recommended (especially when they are on tour!)" Based in London, England 12th February 2026 Francesco Spezia

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for percussionists ranges from £80 to £1,200+, 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.

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.
