About
Sound Synergy is a drummer for hire in Byron Bay, NSW.
Gareth Jones brings a truckload of African drums and percussion, hands them out, and inside a few minutes a room of people who have never played a note are locked into the same rhythm. That's the whole idea behind Sound Synergy, an interactive drum circle out of Byron Bay that works across ages and abilities. A full PA carries their own tribal backing beats underneath, which gives the group something solid to sit on and keeps the energy up. It suits corporate days, festivals, weddings, school and kids' events and aged care settings. Seating for the participants is the main requirement, and power within about 25 metres if you can manage it. Working with Children and Working with Aged Care checks are current.
The show
Gareth hands out African drums and percussion to everyone in the room, and within a few minutes people who have never played anything are locked into one rhythm together. That's the whole trick of it. A full PA carries the tribal backing beats underneath, which gives the group a solid pulse to sit on so nobody has to keep time on their own. It works across ages and abilities, which makes it a fit for corporate days, festivals, weddings, school events and aged care settings alike.
On the day
Seating for however many people are taking part is the one real requirement, since a drum circle needs everyone sitting in one. Power within about 25 metres is preferred for the PA, though they can usually work around it if the nearest outlet is further off. Tell them your participant numbers when you enquire so the right amount of gear comes off the truck.
