Andy hired Adam Jones for a Funeral / Memorial service (available in Newcastle upon Tyne)
"I cannot rate Will highly enough. Will was given 1 week to learn an entire set of original songs, which he had perfected by the time of the show. Will played the songs well and with passion. It felt as though Will had been in the band all this time. If you need a drummer for your show, Will is your man!"
Rob hired Will Jones for a Bar / Club / Venue event (available in Newcastle upon Tyne)
"We had not met or practiced with Will at all before the gig. Probably the biggest compliment I can give him is that it pretty much immediately felt like we'd been playing together for years. All he had to go on were a few recordings I had given him a few days before but we were astonished by his attention to detail and the work and preparation he had clearly put into his performance. Technically an excellent drummer with real pedigree and a top man to boot. If you need a dep drummer I can't recommend Will enough."
Dan hired Will Jones for a Corporate event (available in Newcastle upon Tyne)
FAQs about hiring Drummers in Newcastle Upon Tyne
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Will a drummer bring their drums?
When you hire a drummer, the specific equipment you need to provide will depend on the event and venue. For example, some venues which often have live music will be able to provide most of the equipment a drummer will need but for weddings, a drummer will usually bring everything. Always worth double-checking with the drummer beforehand to avoid any last-minute surprises on the day.
How long do drummers usually perform?
It varies from event to event, but drummers typically perform two 45-minute sets. You can always negotiate the set time with the drummer if you’d like them to play for longer or shorter.
How long does it take for a drummer to set up and sound check?
Drummers will take around 20-30 minutes to set up a standard drumkit, but for more elaborate setups (for high-end events for example), it might take up to 45 minutes to set up. Always clarify set-up and sound check times with the musician beforehand to ensure your event flows smoothly.
How much space do drummers need?
The amount of space a drummer needs depends on the size of their kit, however, as a general rule of thumb, drummers need at least 8 feet by 8 feet of space - this will give them enough room to set up their kit and play comfortably.
What genres do drummers usually play?
At Encore, our drummers for hire are often very versatile and can play a wide range of genres, including but not limited to, rock, pop, jazz, blues, metal, and funk. If unsure, always check their song lists on their profiles or get in touch with one of our experts who can help you in finding the perfect drummer for your event.
