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 (22 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) 8th April 2026 Jag - Jaggo Photo of Jord Percussion (DJ Bongos) Jord Percussion (DJ Bongos) "I've been to a few of Jord's gigs and she is an unbelievably gifted percussionist/drummer whose passion for rhythm and music shines through in every time she performs. Whether she's playing live, or collaborating with other musicians, her timing, creativity, and energy elevate the entire musical experience. I've had the privilege of seeing her perform multiple times, and each time I'm blown away by her skill, precision, and stage presence. She brings both technical expertise and a deep sense of musicality to her craft, making her not only a great performer but also an inspiring artist to work with. If you're looking for an authentic, reliable, and talented drummer or percussionist for any event, or collaboration - look no further. Highly recommended!" Based in Birmingham, England (22 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) Jenny Foran Photo of Alex Magni LED Percussion Alex Magni LED Percussion "Wow! Alex is a true performer and had a wicked personality to match. Honest and reliable, we always felt in a safe pair of hands. He gave out party the energy we were looking for and his bongo skills are just epic! Thank you so much for making our event so special and memorable. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to have you back again soon! Ben and all the family x" Based in Birmingham, England (22 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) Ben Turner - Garden Party 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 (53 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) 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 (66 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) 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 (80 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) Dan Oneils Music (Commercial events)

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.
