“A brilliant, electrifying and high impact session. An unforgettable
experience which has definitely left us with a buzz! It was amazing how a group of people who have never tried this sort of thing before can get together to make sweet music. Somesh is a fantastic and inspiring teacher. I am looking forward to being able to use Drum Jam again, in order that others can share this wonderful experience too.”

“It`s Angela here. I have being drumming with you (and because of you, cause I couldn`t drum at all before I started the course with you...) tonight. I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful time I have had during the course, and for the performance tonight, but most of all for helping me turning a "kind of little dream" into reality. I have always wanted to drum and now I have done it. And it feels great!!!. And the way you teach it makes it even more fun“.

Thank you for helping create such a vibrant energy -- I can`t wait until the next meeting.
Best wishes,Anna"

“I would like to pass my opinion on Somesh and his session. First of all it was a wonderful surprise and a great way to start any day, I found Somesh to be enthusiastic, easy to understand, with a passion that shines through. I have told family and friends about the session and I`m sure other bookings will come his way. Please pass on my thanks to Somesh.”
Claire - Strand Palace Hotel London
“Excellent starter to the 2nd day of the team build to keep the enthusiasm of the 1st day going, helped to breakdown a few of those barriers as well that may have still been there, nobody was afraid to make a fool of themselves because they were amongst trusted colleagues. Just goes to show that were are actually in tune with each other and that we can all sing of the same hymn sheet!! Excellent and very patient instructor too!”
Thanks

“I thought the drumming was a great, a very good way to start the day.
Great fun to watch every one else when they are concentrating on there own instrument.”

“To know that a complete stranger can get a group of people who do not ALWAYS synchronise to do so is wonderful to see and especially participate in.”
Nelson Benedicte - L`Oreal
"Hi Stuart,
Thank you, we had an absolutely fantastic time on Friday! Great organisation and set up, as well as fun execution of the event.
I even think some of the team were reluctant to return their drums and maracas!
We will definitely recommend you to the rest of L’Oreal!
Best regards,
Béné"

Carmel Briggs - Courses in Personal Development
"Thank you for an excellent evening! It was such good fun and everybody enjoyed it - my daughter Elly said that she was watching the `non-drummers` and they had a great time too! And it was good to see you `showcase` Mark - I`d read about that in the book. A wonderful way to let people with different standards have their moment of `glory`. So cool. Any my son enjoyed it - he`d been a bit sceptical after a not so enjoyable time at drum camp, but it was cool for him. And me? I just had a great time - I wanted to dance!"

Somesh has a unique method of facilitating teams through fun, innovative quality rhythm entertainment events." "Somesh brings to Phoenix his ability to encourage people to “play” and not to take themselves too seriously, have fun and bring their energy into the work place. Somesh offers flexibility and an ability to work closely with his customers using a range of options to tailor an event specifically for their needs and consolidate the key learning."
Melanie Bruck, Business Development Executive - London First Centre
"Really, we would like to say thank you for what was a wonderful event, enjoyed by absolutely everybody! We thought the facilitator Somesh was excellent, really friendly and very good at getting people to work together as a team and express their inner rhythm! I think that lots of companies should hold this type of event for their staff, as this is an excellent way to de-stress and get teammates to work together and get to know each other, in a situation other than work. Best wishes Melanie."
Dr Bitt Miller - Burton Vocational Training
"After 15 years of attending courses for GP Course Organisers this one will never be topped thanks to the amazing Drum Jam workshop . The start which involved us all walking into the room and simply picking up the rhythm and signals from Somesh was a truly thrilling and connecting experience for us all."
