Feedback

  • 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
