We found it was an effective way to communicate our key messages to staff, while ensuring the event was both memorable and motivating."

what was achieved in an hour."

We were really impressed that everyone participated whilst enjoying themselves at the same time and I've received comments from our Maitre d', Mass Rahim, this morning that "in all the years he has worked at the bank he has never seen the function room so alive". Even the security staff have never heard that much noise filtering down to Ground Floor from Level 34!!!"

members. It was the first time most had participated in such an activity, and the message of the
synergies from working together was not lost on them.”
David Katz, General Manager Sales - Optus

"It was really well received and set an up-beat theme and a level of trust in the group. It had an underlying theme of stop, listen breathe... and then join the beat harmoniously. The group had to watch and listen to beats to get instructions - and by the end of the session you wouldn't know we weren't part of the band. Every session of the day that rolled from this was a success, and I'm sure the drum cafe set us up totally for success!"
Kate Bohr - Commonwealth Bank

"Without a doubt a wonderful way to bring people together. We can't wait for the next drumming
session."
BMW

"I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful event on Wednesday. I thought it was just fantastic. To see the group working so well together and creating great rhythm was a great site to see.

A number of the team came up to me afterwards saying how great it was and how good it would be to use with their own teams in the future."

Amber Cook - National Mortgage Company

"I want to say how much I enjoyed the Drum Café presentation at the Auckland Primary Principals’ Association Conference (APPA) this week. It was my first experience, though I had heard so much about your group. “Leadership” was the theme of our conference. The drum café certainly showed us about leadership: how people from various backgrounds, varying levels of skills, who hardly know each other, can work together cooperatively, in a short space of time to achieve successful communication  and sweet harmony. AND not a word was spoken. Now that’s amazing! Congratulations."
Sue Tooley, Principal - Papakura South School, Auckland

"It got everyone talking - hopefully to people they have not spoken to before. There was a lot of conversation about how much fun people had and how their thumbs were still hurting on Monday! I think just everyone being a part of the experience together will help to build relationships. Those that didn’t attend the conference would most definitely feel as though they have missed something special." Vanessa Zanotti - Carlson Marketing

"I think many people thought that this was going to be another "standard" teambuilding event but once they entered to the sound of the drums and Lance took control they realised that was going to be something that they could all participate in, regardless of age, fitness and skill level. The fact that the activity was able to get everyone working together without them really having to focus on that was also a plus."
Emma O'Grady - Cooper Hand Tools

"From the moment the music started up this infectious beat just resonated through everyone and people couldn't stop smiling it was fantastic. All round great experience and the feedback from the whole team was very positive."
Holly Sidey - SHL

"We had a very positive event and your segment over our conference dinner was extremely well received. It is referred to often"
"It is without doubt, the best teambuilding event I have ever hosted or attended and this was echoed by almost all who attended tonight."
Stephen Davis - SAP John Fairfax Holding Limited

"The Drum Cafe's session far exceeded my expectations and the group was more engaged than I had hoped for. The event was so unique, it was a talking point throughout the meeting and will be remembered over years to come."
Samantha Ford - Baker and McKenzie

"I enjoyed it thoroughly, I look forward to working with you again in the near future."
Felicity Drake, National Publicity & Promotions - Colombia Tri Star Film Australia

“I can’t believe they were working and drumming together in the first 10 minutes.”
Kerry Fink - Lend Lease Property Management

"Thanks so much for last night. We had such a great night and the drum circle really set the tone for the rest of the evening. The benefits I think were mostly felt in today's planning session. The thing is, we're a small team within a really large global organisation. And we are aiming for greatness within our region. Your team were really astute and picked up on what our business was and what our team needed, almost intuitively. I also want to personally compliment you on your business. Each member of your team treated us with utmost professionalism and respect. The way you organised the event and communicated with us made us feel that every single client that you make contact with is treated as special."
Andrea Hill, Recruiting Director - Resources Global Professionals

"Blown away by the event. It wasn't just a once off
feel good, it was a reference point that we can use in the future for how excellently we work as a team and how much fun we can have doing what we do. Thank you for your dedication in bringing us
this remarkable event."

"The opportunity to drum together as a community enhanced by the richness of the culture. That feeling of soul is what added that unique flavour and depth to the drumming experience... That a physical event could cause a significant behavioral change and a shift in attitude in a unique and fun way... The team was noticeably happier and proactive the next day and highly praised the activity.  There was a definite buzz in the air."
