Improve: Can’t think of anything
Learning: The variety of percussive sounds and the way anyone can do it!
What changes in your life will you make after today? Perhaps not for me as a leader but what was wonderful for the boys was to be allowed, no, encouraged to make a noise!
Other: Please come and do it all again next year! We will be telling everyone we know how brilliant it was . . .
Rating 1 – 5: 5 – No, probably more!

Like: Informal and relaxed. Steve made us all feel very comfortable in what could have been an awkward situation. We started by following him and then when we actually started drumming it felt really liberating.
Improve: Not much, really. Many of us would like to do it again for a bit longer
Learning: That doing something different with a group of people that work together can feel such a rewarding experience and fun!
Changes: To try new things without thinking “I won’t like it!”
Other: A huge ‘Thank You’
