Reviews of Drummers & Percussionists available in London

Spotlight Percussion! Bongos + Percussion
"Max was absolutely brilliant! He joined our local village day party and brought it to life with his performance. You could see people in the streets dancing along which is exactly what we wanted. We would definitely book Max again if we need another musician next year"
2nd August 2024
Rachel R - Party
Mia Casey - Drummer for Hire
"Mia and I have have been working professionally together for over 6 years now. In that time, I have never once been let down. Always punctual, and self sufficient in getting herself to shows, sessions and meetings. Her ability to adapt her style to whatever the function requires is second to none and keeps people moving on the floor. I was particularly impressed with her work while on tour for the first time together in Europe and the US this year as we both had to adapt to a different gigging culture, and she did it faster than me! (Ha!) Overall, there is no bone in my body that feels like Mia “Washboard” Casey would ever let me down. Over the last half decade, she has proven to be a wonderful asset to my band but also a charismatic and kind person to work with. "

Kaspar Berry Rapkin
A powerful yet precise pocket drummer
"“Max is a raw talent. He has good instincts and melodic intuition which makes learning new material a fast and enjoyable experience. He’s one of those players that just gets better and better through the set and always leaves the audience smiling” "
13th December 2024
Kit Trigg
Sophie Holliday
"Sophie Holliday is a refreshingly natural stage presence, singing to you like she's sat speculating with you at a house party. She write lyrics like a conversation and I finish all of her gigs feeling like I've had a deep chat with a good friend. It's a unique experience in a world of long distance "sounds" and she connects with you even through recordings of her songs, bringing you right back onto the sofa, listening to heartfelt stories of everyday life and modern folk poetry."

Kate S - Venue Gig
Nick on Percussion
"We hire Nick regularly to perform alongside our latino singers. Nick always brings the beat to our live music nights. He is full of joy and enthusiam. He has a professional attitude and is charming to our guests. I highly recommend him for all your purcussion needs. "

Salsa Serpiente - Salsa live music night
Charlie Wickham | Drums & Bass
"Charlie played drums for a production of 'We Will Rock You' and did an outstanding job. Not only did he play extremely well, he managed to perfectly replicate the nuances of Roger Taylor's drum sound. Highly recommended."
3rd April 2025

Frequently asked questions

If the event venue is located within the London Congestion Charge zone, it's important to clarify with your chosen act how they handle this fee. Some drummers & percussionists may include it in their price, while others may add it to their travel expenses. The charge is currently £15. Similarly, any car parking fees should also be discussed beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for drummers & percussionists in London is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.
Booking drummers & percussionists in London as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most drummers & percussionists in London are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.
The cost of hiring musicians in London can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £685. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £100, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £3300.
