Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I played at a small club in Amsterdam back in 2019 and it was unforgettable! The energy was so high everyone was dancing and ended up with me playing on the bar!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I studied jazz drumming and music at The Royal Welsh College of Music so some of my favourite drummers are Buddy Rich, Max Roach and Mark Guiliana. However is also love Avicii, Gala and BURNS!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Spotlight Percussion has appeared on shows including ITV’s ‘The Voice’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and have performed for guests including David Attenborough and Shirley Bassey.

Internationally, Max has performed at The Amsterdam Blue Note, World Economic Forum in Switzerland, and events in Santorini, Barbados & Ibiza, among others.

UK venues include the prestigious Savoy Hotel, The Dorchester Hotel, Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, The Barbican Centre and The Royal Festival Hall.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Tough choice but I do love a wedding! Everyone is happy and up for a big party with all their best friends and family. The energy is always high and I love seeing everyone having a great time.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I play up to 2 hours on each booking, this can be broken into 4x30min sets or what you'll think will work best for your event!

If I am adding on to your DJ I like to arrive around 1 hour before I'm due to begin, however if I am also bringing a PA then I will need 1 hour and 30 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes! For roaming bongos/percussion this works really well, and if you would like a stationary set up I will need cover if there is a chance of rain.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

yes 100%! I am happy to play along to whatever your DJ plays and take requests to make sure all your favourite songs get played!

If I am doing your entire event I ask clients to provide a Spotify/iTunes playlist of the vibe they are looking for.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

High energy and great fun!


Can you do roaming bongos with my dj

Yes! I love walking around playing at events, getting involved on the dance floor and getting people up.
