Hire Harrison and his bandmates, they were Spectacular!

Holiday tunes and jazz favorites were the sounds of the evening! The Vibes are such an intriguing and wonderful instrument, you will be amazed! If you're looking for a group that was on time, ready to play, delightful, talented, friendly and ever so professional, then don't hesitate to hire this group! These young men will be headlining shows one day! THANKS!
Booking a percussionist injects your event with lively rhythms and energetic beats, creating a vibrant atmosphere that guests won’t forget. Their versatile skills can complement various music styles and event themes, ensuring a dynamic and memorable experience for all. Not only can you hire drummers and percussionists to do live performances, but you can also get session drummers for a recording gig or book someone to play drums with your band.
The cost of hiring a professional percussionist in Chicago, IL will vary depending on the length of the event, the percussionist’s experience, and the complexity of the gig. Hiring a drummer as accompaniment will likely cost less than a soloist who performs a full drum show on their own. Contact local percussionists and drummers for hire to get a customized quote for your special event.
While browsing Chicago percussionists, look through photos and watch videos to see what is included in their performances. Then read reviews from past clients to learn more about their experience and professionalism. When talking with drummers, discuss important details like performance space, special requests, or setup requirements. Most percussionists will provide their own drum kits or percussion instruments, but you should double-check any other specific needs.
