About

Live drums, 25+ years

For more than 25 years I've worked receptions across Long Island as a party percussionist. I play bongos, congas, timbales, cowbell and cymbals live with your DJ, so the songs your guests already love hit harder.

I work with your DJ and your venue coordinator ahead of time, so every big moment gets the right beat.

Works With Your DJ

I plan with your DJ before the wedding, then play along with their set live so the music and drums move together.

Party Percussionist

Live percussion played with the DJ, from cocktail hour grooves to a packed dance floor at the end of the night.
