David did an amazing job for our daughter's engagement Party. It was an outdoor event with the flavor of an island vibe. It was just the right sound level and everyone enjoyed it. David played for our event for 3 1/2 hours and he was very constant with no down time. We will definitely use him again!! Thank you

Thanks Jessica it was a pleasure playing for you and your family. Congratulations 🎊
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dave and his music! This weekend we had a surprise 60th Luau for my Mother and Daves steel drums and other instruments MADE our party. Everyone could not stop complimenting Daves music and how much it truly made them feel like they were away on a tropical island. To top it off just dealing with Dave behind the scenes was such a pleasure, he was the nicest person, always available to keep in touch with through the process, and very reasonably priced compared to many other steel drummers I looked into. Overall an AMAZING experience with Dave, I can't wait to book with him again in future!!

Thanks Michael
Dave is a complete professional and a terrific musician. My event was a small backyard party but Dave treated it as if it were a major gig. He kept the party lively with a variety of music and his rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend using him for your next gathering, big or small.

Dave provided the steel drum music for our small backyard birthday party. Everyone loved it. From start to finish, Dave provided a great experience. He arrived early, and not only played the steel drum but also the marimba. The music he played was exactly what we were hoping for, and gave our party that island feel. I would highly recommend using Dave.
Everyone had a great time and David was very prepared - even for the kids’ requests.

I booked Dave for a last minute birthday party and he was amazing! I totally recommend him to anyone who is looking to have someone play at your party! My guests all raved over his talent and how he added such a nice touch to our Caribbean party! Dave played the steel drum as well as another instrument and he was the hit of the party! You won’t be disappointed if you book him! He is also easy to talk to and arrived very early to set up!

David Economos was our choice for our daughter's cocktail hour because he not only plays the steel drum, but also the marimba (aka vibes). Dave spoke with me as soon as we booked with GigSalad (which was nearly 18 months before the wedding date) and we spoke about the details of the affair, the timing, the type of songs we might want, etc. He took time with me on the telephone and asked pertinent questions regarding our likes/dislikes, about the venue, etc. Several weeks before the wedding, Dave called me to verify that nothing had changed and we discussed a few numbers we would like to hear. He said he would do all possible to accommodate us and he did. He played "Never on Sunday" which I love, as well as a great selection of beachy tunes (the reception venue is on the Great South Bay), and he was dressed in his Hawaiian-style shirt and khaki pants. Dave arrived well ahead of the start of the cocktail hour to determine where to set up, etc. The guests loved having the Caribbean-flavored live music on the outside terrace rather than recorded music piped from inside, or no music at all. We received numerous compliments regarding Dave's performance. He was a great addition to the wedding entertainment and he was very easy to work with. We highly recommend Dave without any reservations.

I hired Dave for a party in my yard and he transformed it into a tropical paradise! He is amazing on the steel drum. Everyone loved the music. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again. I’ve already booked him for my next party!

David played the steel drum at our ceremony and I wanted to walk down the aisle to the Ave Maria. It was not a song David played before but he said he could learn it. Not only did David learn it…it was so beautiful, sacred, and delicate, that it brought chills to myself, my husband, and all our guests!! Anyone who hears it, will want it for their special day...that's how beautiful and powerful he plays it!! Weeks later, I still have people saying it was one of the nicest ceremonies they have been to. David's talent playing the steel drum is not only beautiful, but very classy as well!!! David also played at our cocktail hour. He knew the party would not be stopping at its original venue. We had 25 people joining us for an extended celebration in Jamaica! David’s talent continued to shine through, he played Caribbean music the entire cocktail hour really setting the tone to getting everyone excited to board the plane for Jamaica!!! If you want your wedding to stand out from all the rest, I recommend that you contact David...he will make your special day…a memorable one!! Not to mention he goes over and beyond to make you happy!! There is no question we will be booking David for future events!!!
Thank you, David, for making our wedding so beautiful and memorable!!

I booked Dave and Vibe-brations Entertainment on 2 seperate occassions and cant say enough good thongs about the experience. I used him a few years back for entertainment at my high school reunion and since it was a luau theme, daves steel drums really made the party. Recently, i booked Dave for the cocktail hr for my wedding and eveyone loved him. He played all the songs we requested and really set the tone for the party. Prices were very reasonable as well compared to other percussionists. Highly recommend Dave and cant wait to book him for our next event!

My daughter and I had heard Dave at a bridal showcase last year. She loved him at first sound. I knew then we had to book him for her wedding. He far exceeded all our expectations. All the songs we requested to have him play at the ceremony and cocktail hour were spot on! I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him again!
