• The drive played our wedding reception and pretty much made the evening. Their songs were spot on, and they kept the party going all night. They were a great bunch of guys to work with, and I would recommend them for parties, weddings, anything and everything. Can't say enough about them. People are still talking about how fun our reception was. -- Matthew V, Sidney, OH, 5/8/2010
• We do not know how to express in so few words that The Drive is AWESOME. They charge a very fair price and play a plethora of music. Their sets are much longer than we expected. We all definitely got the vibe that they truly wanted us to enjoy the music. They aren't one of those play-by-the-hour groups, where you insert more bills to continue. They play a reasonable amount of time and stop when the party does. In fact, they made the party. If you have a fun loving bunch at your event, they will play to please. The Drive definitely went above and beyond to make us and our guests happy. Edit: This was a wedding at the local IBEW in Vandalia -- Zach G, Vandalia, OH, 1/16/2010
• This is a great bunch of guys that can rock! We plan on using them for our future events. -- Rod S, Xenia, OH, 8/29/2009
• The band members are very personable, they cater their performance to match the occasion, and they are able to play and perform a wide variety of selections to meet the needs of the audience. Very talented individuals. I would hire them back in a minute. -- Ron A, Columbus, OH, 10/24/2011
• The Drive was fantastic - friendly, easy to work with, and extremely talented. Many people at the party mentioned that they were the best cover band they had ever heard, and insisted we bring them back for our next event. The only reason I gave them 4 stars for 'special requests' was that they were not able to play anything that wasn't already on the set list - but to be fair the requests were made only a week or two before the show. Overall they were great to work with, sounded amazing, and put on a great show! -- Adrian M, Dayton, OH, 10/22/2011
• The Drive might have been the best band that I have seen. They clearly love what they do and are very committed. They did our wedding and were awesome. They made it very clear that it was our wedding and they would do whatever we wanted. They were awesome!!!! -- Katelin S, Celina, OH, 12/10/2011
• The Drive was excellent and are the reason for our event's success! They were very talented and friendly musicians. It was great that they engaged with us during their setup, the show, and while cleaning up. They had awesome music and sounded great! I wish we would have known about them sooner so that we could have invited them to earlier events; regardless, we would gladly invite them back for future events, especially ones where they would be the main attraction whereas they were background music to other activities going on at our festival. They deserve more attention than our audience gave but were very professional throughout the entire event. -- Daniel S, Dayton, OH, 5/11/2012
