Every piece is tested, tuned, and delivered stage-ready by working Bay Area musicians.

Tell us the room and the rider and we will handle the rest. Request a same-day quote.
Full backline, one call - anywhere in the Bay Area
A backline rental is rarely just the gear. It is a load-in window, a stage plot, and a patch list - each with its own timing and access. We plan for all of it: delivery and pickup citywide, on-stage setup, and on-site support when the show calls for it. One call covers amps, drums, keys, PA, and percussion, on one truck, on time.

Why rent backline from California Percussion
The shop is run by working San Francisco musicians, not a rental desk - so the gear that shows up at your gig is gear we would play ourselves. When you ask for a specific amp, board, or kit, that is what arrives: checked, tuned, and stage-ready, with known-good cabling and pedals. Need something off your rider we do not stock? We will tell you straight and point you to the closest match. That is how a working musician would think about it.
