Feedback
- We had such an unbelievable time with Mr. Sterling Sample! He was so cheerful and accomodating and the twins' First Communion party was a huge hit!!! I would definately have him perform again - we had a blast!!! He had all of us up at the microphone - including my 8-year-old twins who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was a very very memorable day thanks to Sterling Sample! He made this very special day even more special! -- Kristina P, Fairfield, CT, 5/9/2009
- Sterling was fantastic! He arrived on time and was extremely professional. I would recommend Sterling to anyone looking for a steel drummer. He added the island feel to my daughter's engagement party and everyone truly enjoyed his music.
I chose Sterling because he gave me the best price, I only hoped he would be good enough...he exceeded all expectations! The absolute best part was he stayed well beyond the contracted time, so we could enjoy his music even longer.
Thank you Sterling for such a great job!

- Mr Sample's music was wonderful. Trying to sell tickets to this event was not easy, congregants did not know what to expect. When they started to play, I never saw so many mouths hang open they were so very surprised how great the talent of this band was. Great group of people. Very professional and on time!
We had people come from other churches and wanted to know how to get in touch with Mr Sample!!!

- Very stress-free and easy. Mr. Sample was very easy to work with, and he made a special effort to play our very special request at our wedding ceremony. His music was lovely,and all our guests couldn't stop talking about it. We met Sterling by chance, and we're really lucky to have crossed paths so that he could be there at our wedding. Anyone looking to add a Trini/island touch to their special day, Mr. Sample is the man! -- Kris S, Cortlandt Manor, NY, 10/9/2011
- I wasnt't able to use Sterling C Sample because I had to cancel the party. However, he was very professional & acommodating during our intial converasation, and recent ones. I would definitely look into hiring him for another gig. -- Shaniqua H, Brooklyn, NY, 10/28/2011
