THE TIGER. the sensational STREET DRUMMER. The Exclusive LOCAL mke live entertainer.

A professional street drummer and a professional live entertainer for hire. This is TIGER (real name is Jesse Rolland). TIGER walks the streets of Milwaukee almost every day of the week on a weekly basis entertaining the citizens outside of local venues and events all over the city simultaneously playing bucket drums and mixing live music. In the summertime you might see TIGER when coming onto or getting off of your local boat cruise service such as Edleweiss, Riverwalk Boats, or even MKE Boat Line. During the fall through spring event season you can find TIGER performing for Bucks fans (TIGER = Die hard Bucks fans) after Bucks games as well as concerts @ Fiserv Forum in front of their back parking lot left of the main entrance. You will also find TIGER performing for post event crowds for Milwaukee Wave Soccer matches, Admiral Hockey games, and concerts @ Turner Hall, Marcus Center, Pabst Theater, Riverside Theater, and Miller High Life Theater year round. Beyond scheduled events TIGER is constantly putting out video content of new performances all over the streets of Milwaukee WI!

 
 

the modern day bucket drummer DJ (aka - “Live Controllerist”)

From an iphone, to an ipad, to an ipod, and now a full laptop rig fueled by Ableton Live and custom MIDI controllers, TIGER performs using all the latest devices to control music and mix live. Instead of just basic mixing and transitioning popular tracks like your typical DJ, TIGER does extensive production inside Ableton Live deconstructing and reconstructing live remixes that you have never seen or heard before! It’s whole new category of live performance and a whole new sound! This is the Sound Of TIGER.

Live Performance Equipment:

  • 5 gallon bucket drum kit

  • Double butt Vater Alien Freak sticks and Innovative Percussion marching sticks

  • 16 inch frying pan

  • AA Meinl ground cymbals

  • Android Tablet

  • Asus Laptop

  • Ableton Live 10

  • Launchpad Pro MK3

  • Ion Sport XL PA Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (It fills up small to medium size venues very well!)

 

THE ULTIMATE MOBILE LIVE ENTERTAINER FIT FOR EVERY KIND OF GIG!

Why book a full band when you can book a mobile entertainer that cost a fraction of the price and checks every box of your convenience? This is what TIGER offers you…

  • Set up time = 5-10 minutes (3 minutes if only running on iPod!).

  • Personal wireless PA sound system.

  • Can set up literally anywhere in your venue or building (or even outside of it) and consume a very small area of space.

  • Extreme volume control since the decibel level of my bucket drums are far quieter than a standard drum kit and I have full output control at my own disposal with my electronics and PA system.

  • Music that caters to your venue and event exclusively (I do primarily remixes of popular tunes and tunes that I like revolved around the venue and event!).

  • Live bucket drumming and live re-mixes of tunes you love or maybe have never heard before. What else could you want?

 
 

TIGER CREATES LIVE REMIXES THAT CATER TO YOUR AUDIENCE AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT EXCLUSIVELY…

TIGER is the ultimate chameleon. Actually a TIGER but functions like a chameleon. TIGER performs and prepares music exclusively for every venue environment booked for. Dance clubs. Bars. Restaurants. Patios. Cruise Boats. Birthday parties. House parties. Private parties. Private business events. It really doesn’t matter what the event is or what your business is…TIGER can perform for you!
