Percussionists for Hire in United States

"When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice! Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion. Allie B. Texas Wedding - Memorial Day 2019"

"Fantastic drummer who is also very sensitive to the event. We had him as part of the jazz quartet for cocktail hour and he was superb! Highly recommend him!!!"

"A soulful, high-energy fusion of world-class musicians creating a vibrant, inclusive community. An unmissable, immersive experience!"

"Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend! Meine Gäste waren begeistert und eure Musik hat uns alle zum Träumen gebracht. Gerne wieder!"

"What a fabulous edition Julius was to our community family day. His laid back tunes and silky soft voice was perfect for our afternoon. I will definitely book him again and would 100% recommend him for any event. Thanks again Julius."

"Chris - I freaking love it. Literally was sitting in a doctor's office and started involuntarily smiling and dancing in my seat during your first drum fill. I think you get what I'm looking for, I'm really happy. I love that you're doing your own thing while also fitting inside and amplifying the groove I'm trying to get at. Many many thanks! You're a terrific drummer!"
