Reviews of Percussionists available in Tucson

5/5 from 210 reviews
Photo of Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment "Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events."

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.

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.
