Overall, a great bang for my buck !!
The experience was designed to bring people together through the power of rhythm and music, creating an inclusive, enjoyable environment where participants could forget their worries and focus solely on the joy of the moment.
From the moment Gary started on the drums, the energy in the room was electric. We were introduced to the rhythms of samba, with each of us given the opportunity to play and contribute to the collective sound.
Gary’s infectious enthusiasm and clear instructions made it easy for even complete beginners to jump right in and start drumming. No prior musical experience was necessary, which made it an inclusive experience for everyone. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience to any team looking to mix things up and create lasting, memorable moments together!
I absolutely love it! The band members are so friendly and helpful. I have a zero musical background but love to tap and move to a beat. And wow what a beat there is. It is so exciting and thrilling. All the members are ready to give advice and Gary who runs the band is a bundle of energy bringing it all together and making it thrilling to play in and also watch and listen to.
Been a fantastic experience so far.
