Like: Instant Results! To be able to pick up any of your drums and play! To create a good rhythmic sound all together was such an experience for everyone.
Improve? Nothing, really, only that – from an adult’s point of view – some of the games towards the end were getting a little silly.
Learned: How to hold the drums. Where to place your hands when drumming to create different pitches.
Other: We all enjoyed it! Yes, I’ll follow this up. You were very enthusiastic!
Recommend? Yes Use your name: Yes Ring You? Yes
