When using our Percussion Station, we ship it in advance to our location. The drums used in the Percussion Station are rented from a local backline supplier.
What Are The Rooming Requirements For The Act?
We require three single rooms and the rest are double occupancy rooms depending on the number fo performers.
Will the Boleadoras or "Bolos" Damage the Stage?
We take great precautions to ensure that the stage or stage cover is kept from unusual damage. Our bolos are made of teflon, a material that is easier on stages than old bolos. When considering the impact it will have on a stage, you can compare it with standard tap dancing shoes. A plywood or equivalent can be used to dance with the bolos should it be necessary.

Do You Always Perform With the Pyro Bolos?
We perform with the Pyro Bolos only when a licensed pyrotechnics technician is provided by the client or venue and the performance is approved by the local fire marshall. We follow ever law and ordinance to the letter. Next, safety is paramount and if all conditions are met we can then move forward with the pyro finale segment in our act.

We have an amazing routine with bolos that brings the house down as well as the possibility of incorporating an LED light effect.
