July 3, 2026Wilbur played (and sang) for our afternoon event. He was amazing! I highly recommend him for any event where you need some music. Everyone at the party raved about it!

May 19, 2025Wilbur was fantastic for my wife’s 40th happy hour in Columbus Ohio. He was a total hit and many people came up asking for his contact information to book for their events.

April 25, 2025We had Wilber perform at our Jamaican themed night at our restaurant. He showed up early and stayed late. I had compliments from all of our customers that they loved the music, vibe & energy that Wilber brings to the show. We can't wait to have him back!

Price range: $125 and up
Solo steel drummer with backing tracks provides a full band sound. I can sprinkle a few vocal tunes in the mix with a little island twist as well.
I'm a professional musician from Northeast Ohio. I fell in love with the steel drum (aka steelpan) many years ago and developed such a passion I decided to learn how to tune and then build steel drums. I have been tuning and building steel drums almost as long as I have been playing them. I also am a freelance bassist and guitarist in the northeast Ohio area.
I come with all my own gear.
