Customer questions

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

If I receive enough notice of the change of timings and it doesn’t clash with other commitments I will certainly accommodate the changes.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

How much time do you need to set up?

I need about 1 hour since a lot of large venues require the drums to have microphones attached. The drums need to be sound checked with the band for correct volume levels.

Yes

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes For a large venue I will bring drum microphones, mixer and amplification with speakers.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
