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

session."

"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."

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
