    I love the album - I played it to my men’s prayer group last night … all were deeply moved to worship as well as really digging the music … creative, anointed, awesome grooves, great writing … Love it!!!! May the blessings of Deut 28 be yours through the love of Jesus! Chris, Canada (Nov 07)

    Thank you very very much for the cd (Rhythms of Fire). I love the sound of the tracks. Each one is unique and energetic in its own way, neither one is predictable. There’s a prophetic edge to them as well. Very exciting production indeed. And we are thrilled about ‘Moment in Mumbai’! Marianne, Mumbai, India (Nov 07)

    Just wanted to say thanks for getting the event on, all those who came down found many different challenges and encouragments. For a while now I have been trying to find what the sound of Fire would sound like, hearing it and being “burnt “by it was a gift from the Father, thank you for being open to doing it. Bob, UK (Oct 07)

    A Heart to Drum was an awesome day. God really blessed me. I left feeling that God really has called me to drum out His heartbeat. Raina, UK (Oct 07)

    Just to say how much I got from the Psalm Drummer day yesterday. I am more of a guitarist and help to lead worship in my church than a drummer but I came with my sister, who is the drummer and percussionist of our local church along with my daughter and her friend who regularly join in as djembe players and percussionists. The worship was awesome, the demonstrations interesting and the workshop I attended “how to get the best out of your drummer” was just right for us. The evening worship was fantastic and I really felt moved. I just pray for your ministry and that you continue to organise such events that more and more people can experience such a pure form of worship and praise. Susan, UK (Oct 07)

    Having been back a week now and had time to let the lord speak to me Heart2drum 07 has given me the direction and inspiration I have needed for a very long time as a christian drummer in a military band. I have spoken about nothing else since heart2drum!…..I am now looking to see where the Lord is taking me with my drum and keep checking
    the psalm drummers web site to see whats next!! praise the Lord! AMEN Dave, UK (Oct 07)

    This was a fantastic day! I thoroughly enjoyed the workshops, the worship sessions and the teachings! Let’s hope we have plenty more of these days and that even more people - drummers and non-drummers alike respond to the call! Blessings! Steve, UK (Oct 07)

    H2D was absolutely fantastic!! I loved it and came back inspired, encouraged and on fire to drum more passionately! I have been so inspired to do more with my drumming and percussion and know that God has called me to use my skills for His Glory. Matt, Ireland (Oct 07)
    —————————————————————
    I thought the event was really all I’d hoped it would be - full of worship to our Lord - all of us being able to praise the Lord with our drums - wonderful praise and worship. I especially was moved by the words our Lord imparted through Zoro. Carlos, USA (Sept 07)

    Just got back home after the HEART TO DRUM GATHERING today! Totally awesome and wonderful! Thanks to all the organising committee for putting on such a fantastic event, and praise be to God for all He is doing through this ministry. Truly wonderful praise - may lives continue to be changed through this and may we all continue to hear and follow the Heartbeat of our God, our LORD JESUS, through HIS SPIRIT - AMEN! Chris, UK (Oct 07)

    It was my first time attending one of your events and I had an awesome time.
    Having you come to lead the workshops was a blessing and I think the Spiritual connection, worship that you brought into what could otherwise just have been a fun activity made a deep impact on many of those who took part. Richard, St Lukes, Brighton , UK (Sept 07)

    It was great to be in Newcastle 23/6/07 with Terl and Y Friday. I believe a church needs a beat and Christian drummers need encouraging. Getting it right in church is not easy but Terl gave us all plenty to think about and from the right perspective. Thanks for a great day. Paul, UK (June ‘07)

    A big thank you to all of you who came and played on Thursday, it was an incredible evening and a huge effort from you all to play so much, with so little preparation. I am humbled by your dedication and willingness to participate in everything that was thrown your way! It was fantastic to work with you all and so many people have commented to me about the playing and worshiping that we did. Paul, London, UK (May ‘07)

    I would like to thank you for your music and your ministry over the years
    - you have been a real source of blessing and inspiration to me. Keep up
    the great work! Steve, USA (May ‘07)

    I have already had so much positive feedback about the drumming workshops that I wanted to write to you now. Folk really enjoyed what you did and have been talking with their friends about it; it was a very positive experience of the gospel for everyone and is changing people’s perceptions (or should I say misconceptions). Andy, Bucks, UK (May ‘07)

    It was such great fun and very rewarding to receive you and the excellent team, and how well you worked together and ministered to us all. I wasn’t sure just exactly how you were going to lead the meeting for two hours without a musical back up, and speak and preach for two hours to a mixed audience of adults and children! Well, you did it, and you did it wonderfully well, and we felt the touch of God on our meeting. It was an absolute delight to witness some normally quite reserved folk stamping their feet, clicking their fingers, participating in imaginative new ways of expressing worship. You have helped us so much, all done with sensitivity and with evident compassion for the people of God, from a very diverse cultural background in Dubai. You have a great teaching gift, quite apart from any brilliant drumming (!), and your love for the people of God shines so strongly. We are so blessed and humbled by all the team’s kindness to us. Clive, Dubai (March ‘07)

    We had a visiting preacher from Sierra Leone teaching yesterday, and after his sermon he called people up for prayers during which he grabbed my hand. He said, “now you Mr drummer thank you, I believe that the lord has plans for you. As you drum you are not making a noise, you are worshipping the Lord through your drumming, and as long as you continue playing in the spirit things will happen for you with your drums”. This has come about from knowing the Psalm Drummers and learning to play in the Spirit of Christ. Joe, UK (March ‘07)

    It was an extraordinary blast hooking up with you percussive psalmists … I enjoyed spending time with your worshipful hearts and rapier wit (not dull..heh). It would be great to do it again someday. Chris, Canada (Feb ‘07)

    I wanted to let you know that your book has really inspired me. I found it very encouraging. I find it hard to accept that God chooses to use me for his work and yet I have seen him do amazing things through my drumming. Ben, UK (Feb ‘07)
    —————————————————————
    Just wanted to let you know how much of a blessing/pleasure it was to meet you. It
    was encouraging to visit with you and your spirit-led and heart felt prayers lifted us all. I checked out the Psalm Drummers DVD and was humbled by your vision. Tommy, CA, USA (Feb ‘07)

    I am reading your book a Heart to Drum and it has inspired me to carry on and help the children in our church to play drums. Kevin, UK (Jan ‘07)
    —————————————————————
    Your book! I expected it would be good but I didn’t how good! It is inspired and is an inspiration. It arrived yesterday and I read a lot of it instead of cooking myself lunch or getting on with my other tasks. I did my other things afterwards while thinking about how well you know your Bible and how many of the quotations are my favourites to. Audrey Bryant, Cornwall, UK (Sept ‘06)
    —————————————————————
    Thanks for letting me be involved on Sunday, I thought it was amazing. I have never heard Psalm Drummers before, it was quite an experience and expanded my “box” and thoughts on worship and how we currently translate that into our expression of church. Stuart, UK (Sept ‘06)
    —————————————————————
    I want to thank you very much that we could be a part of Psalm Drummers at Calling All Nations. It was very great, I learned a lot, musically and spiritually. You travelled long with all the drums and practiced with us and gave us T-shirts, and then we played only one song. I saw that you really love Jesus and play for him and you are spiritual fighters. That is great. It would be great if someday psalmdrummers will arise in Germany to do the same. Mira, Germany (Aug ‘06)

    The whole weekend was just so moving, I feel privileged to have been in the company of so many of God’s people. I have never experienced anything like the weekend before, the whole thing has blown me away, it was so emotional being with you guys. God bless you. Joe, UK (July ‘06)

    Dear Psalm Drummers, a huge thank you for your involvement in last weekend (Calling all Nations, Berlin). Wasn’t it great to see nation after nation coming together to worship and praise our one true God. Don’t underestimate the power an affect your playing had in the unseen realm. We have had several clear pictures/words given to us of ripples/sound waves penetrating/punching through the atmosphere from the stadium as we played - keep praying for Berlin. We’ve had lot’s of positive feedback. Mark Jones, UK (July ‘06)
    —————————————————————
    We counted it a privilege to have you and your whole team with us, and I ask that you pass our thanks on to all who came. I felt that they all quickly sensed the tone of our meeting and fitted in so well. The involvement with the children was special, and I know it will have greatly encouraged them in their expression of worship. It will be a day we shall remember for a long time to come. David Thatcher, UK (July ‘06)

    Just wanted to say how great the Psalm Drummers event was on saturday - I only wish church could be more like that - especially ministry by drumming! powerful stuff… Claire, UK (May ‘06)

    I’d just like to say a huge thank you to you and the guys for the inspiring,
    exciting infectious music and the chalenging words. Everyone was buzzing
    with excitement for days afterwards. There are many who have since asked
    for a repeat, many who missed the evening who wished they had come. Doug, UK (March ‘06)
    —————————————————————
    So…..the evening was really really cool, you could literally feel God’s presence in the room, and I was very encouraged. I am glad I said yes and did it. Thanks again for your encouragement on this! Cindi, CA, USA (March ‘06)

    Thankyou for the challenge and the encouragement you have been in the whole area of drumming, and espicially in trusting the Father for funds, as well as purpose. After the talk in Czech Republic I packed the old kit away and waited to see how things would turn out. God has now provided a sale of the old kit as well as the money to for the new one. Bob, Manchester, UK (March ‘06)
    —————————————————————
    What can I say? You were simply wonderful on Friday. Scores of comments have come flooding in. The audience loved what you did. The Spirit was powerfully present (many non-Christians were there). And you were all so easy to work with - flexible, fun and thoroughly creative. Jeremy, Cambs, UK (March ‘06)

    I received your CD and DVD today, thank you for all that you have done for me and my church. It is the best gift that I’ve received in my life. Thank you all. Rakoto, UK (March ‘06)

    Can I thank you and the members of the Psalm Drummers that took part in the Star City event last night. I am extremely grateful for your time and the effort you made to bring rhythm, heart and spirit to the proceedings. Thank you again for helping to kick of this ministry ‘with a bang’! All the best in your future endeavours. Lorraine, UK (Feb ‘05)

    All glory to God for the annointed two days we’ve had with you. I specially want to thank you for the prophecy God sent me through you. It was the first one of my life…you have no idea how long I’ve been praying for one and it was at the perfect time…since that day God has really been working in the lives of my family and me. Joshua, Bombay, India (Jan ‘06)

    Psalm Drummers has utterly changed my life already. I watched the dvd and am listening to your talk. The guys interviewed on the dvd spoke right to my heart as well. Will, London (Dec ‘05)
    —————————————————————
    God certainly showed up and both services were started with a wall of rhythm to “O Come let us adore him”. The congregation grasped the excitement and authority of rhythm in worship more quickly than I had imagined and the dynamic amongst the drummers and band was incredible. The ministry times were tender, musically it was actually very simple but God seemed to use our simplicity in a very deep way to minister to us and the congregation. As a first outing, it far exceeded anything I had expected. This must have been down to the prayers and support from all of you and we need to continue to underpin this with prayer. I have had A LOT of positive feedback from people and requests for us to be playing at most events in the next year. Paul, London, UK (Dec ‘05)

    We run an indoor Youth Centre & Skatepark and have started to use drums (literally plastic chemical drums!) in our worship and have recently started combining this with guys riding and skating the ramps as worship and prayer. Last night’s session was amazingly powerful with the rhythms (based on your CD) releasing powerful prayer and worship in the guys on their skateboards and BMXs. Thanks for the ministry Pete, UK (Nov ‘05)

    I saw Psalm Drummers when I went to ‘The call’ and again at New Wine this summer. I was so excited when I saw the freedom and joy you brought. I praise God for your vision to affect change through the power of striking the drum. May the Lord bless you and keep inspiring you. Sheila, UK (Sept ‘05)

    What a wonderful CD and DVD! My heart’s desire for a drum circle playing for the glory of and the worship of Christ has been re-kindled. Blessing upon you Kim, USA (June ‘05)

    Two years ago I would never have thought I would be doing this and serving different people in the wider Christian community. Thanks once again, Psalm Drummers has helped me so much in training myself up and developing my skills. Chris, Southampton, UK (March ‘05)

    I really enjoyed the day at LST (London School of Theology) last Saturday. I enjoyed the chance to do some drumming but I also found what you said really thought-provoking and helpful. Helen, UK (Jan ‘05)
