1st Project
By using only drums to create what can simply be
described as ‘Aggressive Percussion!’,
1st Project has truly made their mark on the
entertainment industry.
1st Project is an industrial percussion act with a
unique South African element and a pulse of pure
primal energy! Combining elements of Rock,
Traditional African rhythms, House and Latin. 1st
Project has created a completely original style of
music that is guaranteed to touch and entertain
audiences of all ages, no matter what their tastes.
The all-male cast of 1st Project consists of
qualified musicians from the National School of the
Arts who all achieved full colours in music for
their impressive pieces. It was these
adrenaline-fuelled percussion performances that gave
rise to 1st Project.
Since 1999 1st Project have performed over 1000
shows in over 10 different countries and have been
publicized in over 50 media spots, making them the
most experienced and popular drumming act in South
Africa.
Having been based in Johannesburg since 1st Project
started, the team has now also been established in
Cape Town due to the high demand for 1st Project
performances, making it more convenient for clients
on the coast!
Keeping to the rocking style of 1st Project
entertainment, the group involves the best drummers
that Cape Town has to offer - each member an expert
in his field of percussion. |

1st Project
Origin and inspiration: All the members of 1st
Project are matriculants of The National School of
the Arts where they all received full colours in
music for a show that they choreographed. That was
where they met. They originally started it as a
project to earn some extra marks at music school, it
slowly grew into something that South Africa had
never seen. |

1st Project
Before they knew it they started being used for
anything from clubs and festivals to corporate
functions. Then they started trying odd
"instruments" such as brooms, dustbins, bottles,
road signs, matchboxes, cane sticks, shoes and many
more into the show.
First Project are:
Kevin Dike
Stick station (timbales / kettle drums)
Shannon Ellinas
Tom Station (toms / front man)
Paul Boyter
Hand Station (congas / bongos / djembe)
Zack Jordaan
Kit station (drum kit) |
