November 30, 2018Great musician and excellent teacher!
After many weeks of joining Eli with his KidsSTOMP program at our local farmers market, we hired Eli to run a toddler drum circle at pur son’s second birthday. Eli was prompt and professional but more importantly, he brought the party! His caring and enthusiastic attitude made everyone comfortable and both kids and adults had a great time drumming along to some party tunes!

To deliver a high-quality and seamless performance, the following technical needs and preferences help ensure LITÓ brings the best experience possible. Whether working solo with a DJ or as part of a full entertainment team, LITÓ is flexible and professional — but here’s what helps the magic happen:
🎧 Sound Requirements
LITÓ uses a professional-grade hybrid percussion rig that includes live drums, mic’d percussion instruments, and optional electronic triggers. Depending on the size and scope of your event, sound needs may vary slightly — but here’s the standard setup:

1 DI input (for trigger pads or loops if used)
Monitor wedge or aux send (for hearing the DJ or band clearly)
XLR inputs to house mixer (if no in-house engineer is provided, LITÓ can bring a mixer upon request)
