The Fusion of DJ and Drums
Energy You Feel. Power That Unites.
Drums are the heartbeat of music. From ancient rituals to modern dance floors, they’ve been at the center of every celebration, every culture, and every moment of unity. DJ & Drums takes that timeless power and merges it with the cutting-edge sound of an international female DJ with wings. The result? A performance you don’t just hear — you feel it in your bones.
A Universal Language
Across the globe, every culture has a drum:
The pulse of the African djembe.
The festive rhythm of Latin congas.
The hypnotic beat of the Middle Eastern darbuka.
The intricate patterns of the Indian tabla.
The thunder of the Japanese taiko.
Why it works
Raw Energy – Drums cut through the noise and ignite the body.
Global Versatility – Perfect for corporate events, festivals, NFL stadiums, galas, and luxury weddings.
Immersive Experience – Guests don’t just listen, they live the rhythm.
Rodney Dunton
Rodney Dunton is more than a drummer — he’s a force of rhythm. With roots in jazz, Latin, and world percussion, Rodney has mastered the ability to adapt his sound across every style of music. His versatility makes him the heartbeat of DJ & Drums, effortlessly blending global influences with modern energy.
From the intricate syncopations of jazz to the fiery pulse of Latin grooves, Rodney’s playing transcends genres and cultures. He brings the spirit of the African djembe, the swing of Latin congas, the depth of jazz kit work, and the precision of modern percussion to every performance.
Whether he’s driving a dance floor at a corporate gala, adding intensity to a festival stage, or amplifying the atmosphere at a luxury wedding, Rodney doesn’t just keep the beat — he unites the room. His drumming transforms every set into an experience guests don’t just hear, but feel in their bones.
DeeJay shelly
I’ve always loved every kind of music — from Motown to house, Afrobeat to Top 40. That passion led me to create DJ & Drums, my very first instrumental duo, which quickly became one of my most requested acts.
Drums are at the core of every genre, and pairing them with my DJ sets takes the energy to an entirely new level. It’s a fusion of rhythm and technology, tradition and innovation — one you don’t just hear, you feel.
DJ & Drums will always hold a special place in my heart because it brings my love of all music full circle — uniting people through the universal beat of the drums.
What We play
From Motown and Top 40 to EDM, house, Latin, Afrobeat, Bollywood, and beyond — if it has a beat, we bring it to life with drums. Every playlist is creatively tailored to the theme of the event and the client’s vision. Because we live and breathe all styles of music, we can seamlessly move across cultures and genres, giving your guests a truly global and unforgettable experience.
