The Shed is home to Capitol Percussion + Backline Rentals. We can fill any sized rider, have it pulled, tested, and set up for your rehearsal, then transport it to your performance venue, set it up, and bring it back. We can also tech your rehearsals at The Shed or on location at your performance. All you have to do is show up!
