Thank you so much Lisa! We had a blast too!!
Unique request in looking for a djembe player to interact with the crowd in a club like setting alongside a DJ and Vinny crushed it!

Thank you Michael!!
I was in a pinch when the person I originally hired canceled on me last minute, and I was searching frantically. Vinny came to the rescue and then did an amazing job!! He was interactive, on time, friendly and a really good drummer.
I highly recommend him.

Thank you so much Beth! You were a rockstar!!
Vinny is top in his field, of your reading this stop and book him. You won’t regret it for a second .
Vinny was hired as a percussionist at our wedding to play alongside our DJ, in NYC on July 2, 2017. He was FANTASTIC. Really high energy, loads of fun, and a sincerely nice person. He performed with our DJ seamlessly, and had the party going all night. I wouldn't think of using any other percussionist in the future!!! Thanks for an AWESOME party Vinny!

P.s. You guys killed it on the drums :))
I hired Vinny as a compliment to our DJ for my wife's party and it worked out awesome! He kept the crowd going and was also very professional. Would definitely hire again and recommend him.

We flew in from Miami for this event in NY and weren't sure what we would be getting with any of the musicians we booked.
Fortunately, Vinny made us feel very comfortable after showing us videos, pictures, and speaking to us by phone.
He was EXACTLY what we wanted!! He was able to play along with our band, tap along softly during dinner for background/jazz music, and then go into CRAZY PARTY MODE for the dancing, pulling out his glow drum sticks and getting into the crowd!!
He can easily transform from a laid back drummer to a full drum show if needed.
Out of all the musicians hired, Vinny was by far the most influential and energetic at our party. We couldn't be any happier and can't wait to work with him again in the future!!

Vinny nailed it!! I couldn't be happier! He jammed out all night long to our DJ and then whipped out glow in the dark drumsticks later in the night. It was really cool. I felt like I was in a club. Then he went into the crowd with some big drum around him and let everyone play on it. My favorite part was definitely when he let me and my husband play on his drums. We have some great pictures of that!
Vinny, thank you again for making my night feel so special! Your awesome!

Thank you for the nice note Ron.
I have to admit, I was a little hesitant at first to have a percussionist, but I am SO HAPPY we did! Vinny was excellent!! He knew when to rock n' roll and when to hold back on the slow songs. He was a great addition to my wedding.
