He was punctual, flexible with our event, so kind! It felt like he was part of the family & was great about song requests. Definitely book this man! He will not let you down. May God bless you abundantly!" Based in Brooklyn, New York Brenda Tirado Photo of Fabiandrums Fabiandrums "Hiring the singer and percussionist for our wedding's hora loca was hands down the best decision. Right from the start, the energy of the party skyrocketed. The singer is incredibly charismatic and perfectly masterclass at hyping up the crowd, and pairing that with the live beats of the percussion was on another level—it brought so much power to every song! They managed to get absolutely everyone on the dance floor, even those who usually stay seated at least grand ma and grandpa they were clapping. We highly recommend them if you want a truly unforgettable wedding." Based in Manhattan, New York 1st July 2026 Carlos Sanchez - SANCHEZ WEDDING 🎉 Photo of Taproots Taproots "A soulful, high-energy fusion of world-class musicians creating a vibrant, inclusive community. An unmissable, immersive experience!" Based in Springfield, Massachusetts 12th March 2026 Academy Music Hall

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for percussionists ranges from $110 to $1,700+, with an average of $400. 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.
