to drum or not to drum...

Hey gals-
dare I say it but I'm finally getting the hang of the boards.. quick question- is anyone having a live percussionist with the dj? apparently it's great but I'm afraid it might get obnoxious... thoughts?

I've never attended a wedding with a percussionist, but my parents have. My mother didn't care for it; she thought that the drums drowned out the songs the dj played.

Ask your dj for a demo.

I really wished I got one my friend had it for her wedding and it really made the music really I loved it and everyone said he was great ... I would do it ... It brings a different feel and it's great!!!!

I absolutely loved the steel drum player at my cousins wedding! Really livened everyone up!

I've never seen them, but I've heard great reviews of the steel drums at an outdoor cocktail hour

I am going to be usign a percussionist for my wedding in addition to the dj. FH keeps hinting that we dont need it. I have heard it at showcases and I love it, but if I hear negatives from people maybe I will cancel it

I was at a showcase where LI Sound had one. He was great and really made me what to dance, just don't if people would like it for the whole time.

I plan to look into this. I think it would add so much to the music. Especially since there will be a lot of Latin music played at my wedding, I think it will sound awesome along with the DJ. Just hope it isn't way to expensive.
