Drum+Drones Bagpiping's Reviews

5 out of 5

We are still so incredibly overwhelmed by your wonderful performance, memories of which we will always treasure. Your warmth, professionalism, talent and skill was amazing and we feel so privileged you played for us. Everyone in the party group told us just how special the evening was for them and to be a part of this experience. Your playing was a true highlight for us at the 60th Birthday party. The songs on your playlist we enjoyed so much and the passion you played them were truly inspiring. We want to thank you enormously.

well, what can I say..... Ross and Ailise you are both absolutely incredible. You both really made our wedding so special. You looked so smart and the music you played was brilliant, exactly what we wanted. As soon as I heard you playing while I was getting ready I had goosebumps and butterflies in my tummy. You are both so friendly and nothing was ever too big an ask. Communication was easy and you gave us everything we could have wanted. Everyone has commented on how good you were and what a special touch it was to our day. We can't thank you enough and would 100% recommend you to anyone. Thank you again for everything.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, if we are unavailable for your date, we have several young and talented bagpipers and drummers who can play at your event. They have the same 10+ years of experience, Full Pipe Band Kit and friendly personalities. Honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

No problem, we are flexible and can adapt to changes in timings on the day. Unlike other Bagpipers who leave as soon as their slots done, Drum+Drones stays until we've played at the right moment during your event. We won't let you down!

How much time do you need to set up?

We arrive early to set up and tune our instruments off-site so we don't spoil the surprise. We usually need around 30-minutes before the start of your event, which is included in every quote. We'll text your event planner to let them know that we've arrived and are ready to go.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes, we are very flexible and are happy to play anywhere you'd like us at your venue. We can also play on the move and march you and your guests anywhere you'd like while playing.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes, we have a list of 100+ tunes ranging from traditional to pop which reflect the atmosphere needed for any moment during your event. You can choose to leave the set list up to us which we can adapt on the day or chat to us and hand-pick the tunes you would like. We also take song requests too!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, of course. The beauty about our instruments is that they don't require electricity or a specific space to play. We also bring along a photographer and a tripod to record videos of us playing at your venue to send to you after the event. All included for free as part of our quote!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, we take song requests and can learn them for your event. There are 100s of tunes that we know so check with us to see if we may already be able to play it.
