Photo of Dylan's Steel Band Dylan's Steel Band "Review received on 9/3/2025 Oh What a Band!! We hired Dylan’s Steel Band for a Jamaican themed anniversary party. Not only did they arrive early to set up, they were very professional, friendly and accommodating. Not to mention SUPER talented! We totally look forward to hiring them again in the future and recommend to all of our family and friends. Working with them was such a nice experience. Highly recommend Rating: Reviewer: Amber Simpson Event date: August 30th, 2025 Services provided: Caribbean/Island Music, Steel Drum Band, Steel Drum Player" Based in San Diego, California (87 miles from Riverside) 16th April 2026 Amber Simpson - Private 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."

To say Dex was outstanding is an understatement! From his easy and calm demeanor, his ability to comfortably communicate the history of the steel pan to a young audience and then completely captivate them through his playing. It was a moment they will NEVER forget. Dexter is truly an ambassador for our culture in London and his talent is immense!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring steel bands is $430, with prices from $170 to $1,050. Cost depends on the number of players, performance length and whether the band includes percussion and other instruments. Steel bands range from compact three-piece groups to large ensembles, and the group size is the main factor in pricing.

Hiring steel bands is popular for summer parties, Caribbean-themed events, weddings, corporate receptions, festivals and outdoor celebrations. The bright, upbeat sound of steel drums instantly creates a tropical, feel-good atmosphere.

Steel drums are naturally loud and many steel bands can perform without amplification for small to medium events. For larger venues or outdoor spaces, a PA system may be used. Gig Heaven recommends discussing the venue with the band to determine the best setup.
