“We had a fantastic time this afternoon. Thanks again to Lance and the Team for leading us so sensationally and getting everyone involved and off their seats! We will definitely be in touch again in the future to book you up for other events.”
Ideal for peer support days, school community days, pupil welfare programs, school fetes and end of exam celebrations, interactive drumming is also used to commemorate important days on the school calendar such as National Youth week and Universal Children's week.
The drum circle uses non-verbal communication and encourages active listening. Each student is taught how to play the drum and culminate various rhythms and beats, whilst realizing his or her own importance within the greater whole. This experience allows the participants to feel worthy of their input, no matter how small, realizing how their contribution can make a marked difference to the group.
Interactive drumming is one of the most powerful tools available to schools for building community, developing social skills, and creating shared experiences that students genuinely remember.
Unlike passive entertainment, drum circle programs actively involve every single student. There's no audience — everyone participates, everyone contributes, and everyone matters. This makes it particularly effective for peer support programs, new student orientation, anti-bullying initiatives, and any occasion where you want to build genuine connection across year groups or social groups.
Our facilitators are experienced in working with students of all ages and backgrounds, from primary school through to senior secondary. We bring all equipment, manage the entire session, and leave teachers with a group that's energised, connected, and ready to engage.
We work with schools for:
School fetes and community days, Year camps and retreats, Peer support and wellbeing programs, End of year celebrations, Cultural awareness days, National Youth Week and Children's Week, Leadership programs, and Anti-bullying initiatives.
The benefits extend well beyond the session itself. Students who drum together develop active listening skills, learn the value of every individual's contribution, and experience the satisfaction of creating something remarkable as a group — lessons that stay with them long after the drums are packed away.
Available across Sydney, Melbourne, and nationwide. Enquire about a school program today.

“The drum presentation at our Year 9 camp was once again fantastic. The girls really loved the initial element of surprise and then proceeded to have a wonderfully exciting and entertaining evening. The opportunity for them to participate and be involved for the entire session allowed them to be engaged in a great learning experience while at the same time just have a whole lot of fun. The smiles on their faces said it all. We can’t wait to have you back next year.”
“I would like to express my deepest appreciation to you for creating a day of fun, excitement and cultural enlightenment. Our UN Day celebrations allowed the children to explore different ways people eat, dress and celebrate – and we also learned how important drumming is to so many cultures. On behalf of everyone at ME, thank you for putting on such a great event.”
“I spoke to the P&C Committee and they were blown away with the show and how the drummers kept all the kids engaged. They really enjoyed it and said they will definitely have you guys back next year.”
“They were unbelievable. Everything I could have asked for and more – the energy, the rhythm, the vibe. Thank you so much. You may be certain that I will be singing the praises of Drum Circle Events everywhere I go.”
