What drum performance options do you offer?

We offer three options: (1) Standard Drum Group with 3–5 drummers (approx. 3–5 minutes), (2) Premium Drum Group with 7–9 drummers (approx. 4–10 minutes) featuring intricate choreography and fusion techniques, and (3) Drum Performance with VIP Involvement where your VIP joins the routine for a high-impact finale.

How does the VIP involvement work?

Typically one VIP joins the routine for 20–30 seconds near the end (or for the full piece if desired). We recommend a few practice sessions prior to the event so the VIP feels confident on stage.

Do you use microphones or is it fully acoustic?

Performances are fully live and acoustic. For larger ballrooms, we recommend overhead microphones so the impact is evenly balanced across the room.

What are the technical requirements?

We coordinate with your AV on microphone placement (2–4 overhead mics recommended for larger venues). Please allow at least 1 hour for setup and sound-check before the show.

Is there anything VIPs should wear or avoid?

No special gear is required. We advise comfortable attire suitable for light movement on stage; avoid very short skirts for comfort.

How much lead time do you need?

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance, subject to availability. For VIP involvement, please plan additional rehearsal sessions prior to show day.

Do you perform outside of Singapore?

Our drum performance services are available for events within Singapore.

Can you provide a gong strike or other launch elements?

A ceremonial gong strike can be discussed as an add-on to complement the opening moment.
