About 1st Project
1st Project is South Africa’s pioneering industrial percussion act, consisting of highly trained musicians from the National School of the Arts—all of whom received full colours in music. Their signature sound, known as “Aggressive Percussion,” launched the group into the spotlight with adrenaline-fueled performances that defy expectations.
Since 1999, they have delivered over 1,000 high-energy shows across 10+ countries, with over 50 media appearances. They’ve become the most sought-after drumming act in South Africa, expanding from Johannesburg to Cape Town due to overwhelming demand.
The Cape Town team brings together top percussionists—each an expert in his craft—ensuring that the iconic 1st Project sound continues to thrive nationwide.
"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 - The Sound & Energy
Their performances fuse Rock, African rhythms, House, and Latin influences—resulting in a genre-defying style that resonates with audiences of all ages and tastes.
From clubs and festivals to corporate events, their journey began with choreographed school performances using unconventional objects like dustbins, brooms, road signs, and even shoes—proving that rhythm can be found anywhere.
1st Project - Global Impact
1st Project’s recent show in Mumbai, India, was a resounding success. “The energy, passion, and respect from the audience was unbelievable,” the group remarked. “It inspired us to deliver one of our most powerful performances yet.”
With international appeal and undeniable talent, 1st Project continues to elevate African percussion to new global heights.
