Frequently Asked Questions
What will be required to perform?
Performing at your desired venue is fairly simple! A safe and stable performance area by the DJ and on the dance floor near the action! As KriStix hits harder than the majority of drummers in her field (a fact that she loves to share), microphones are rarely needed for the Classic KriStix package. For performances outside, in bigger venues or other packages including hand playing, microphones may be required. Please consult KriStix as she will need to know in advance to bring her own or a sound team is always welcome! KriStix needs a minimum of 2 metres x 2 metres performance space for all of her equipment and crowd-hype jumping, however the more space to swish the better! Parking must be provided for by the client at external carparks but onsite parking is preferred due to the loading of 100kg+ equipment. A soft drinks tab is to be provided at the venue (or a glass of Pinot!), prepared food (when at the venue for longer than two hours) and a secure, heated and lit green room for those all important outfit changes! When booking other musicians through KriStix (or if microphones are needed), a power supply will be required near the DJ and performance space.
Please ensure that your chosen venue allows live musicians and doesn’t have any inhibiting sound limiters or time/noise restrictions as it could mean that the performance cannot go ahead.
How is a quote generated?
A quote will be sent based on musician performance fee, travel times and duration at the venue. If the venue is more than two hours away from the performer, accommodation will have to be provided by the client. Should you be wanting to book more musicians through KriStix Drumming, every attempt will be made to share accommodation and travel to ensure the price is as fair as can be. Quotes are split into two parts, the Deposit due immediately to secure the booking and the Remainder due only seven days before the event!
If needed, who books accommodation?
Accommodation on site is always preferred if possible. If not, accommodation will be sourced by KriStix herself but will be paid for by the client in advance. Accommodation payment must be sent at time of accommodation booking, (with the remaining performance fee due one week before the event.) Hotels must have 24 hour check-in, be a minimum of 3 star rating and have an onsite carpark (for loading of equipment after the event for insurance purposes) but will always be chosen within reason to suits all parties.
Can it be colour themed?
But of course!! As always, any colour scheme can be matched with a colour customisable light show and KriStix bringing different sequinned outfit changes for each set! The more sparkle the better!
Can you offer advice with planning?
Yes! Please feel free to ask in regards to timings, other performers, and what can make the best impact for your special day!
