    CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

    We thought they were great, they set the mood of the party! The made our company Christmas party fun and relaxing and tropical, everyone loved them.

    Dave sounded great! Our biggest problem - we didn't get to hear enough of him because we were busy with pictures. It's hard to explain... but having steel drums during the wedding ceremony really added a special element and I'm very glad we found Dave to play for us. There really is no substitute for steel drums at a beach wedding. And the cocktail hour was fantastic as people mingled and caught up... all with the soothing sounds of the steel drum. Lastly, Dave was a nice guy, very responsive to our questions as we planned the event, and very professional at the event. THANKS!!!

    I thought that the music was a terrific addition to our boat party. It added a fun tropical flair but was not too loud that you couldn't converse with the people standing near you. Highly recommend.

    Dave was very professional and easy to work with. His smooth island sounds made our party a hit. Also, his prices are very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone
