    "The Psalm Drummers are pioneers. They show that rhythm is woven into the fabric of our humanity, and when taken up by the Spirit, can be a powerful means of prayer, worship, witness and education in a post modern culture. They are reaching hundreds of people who otherwise will have nothing to do with the Church. They deserve every support."
    Revd. Dr. Jeremy Begbie - Ridley Hall, Cambridge, UK
