Image - tiny drum "Drumming together is exciting because of the immediacy, sound level and insistence. You know you are part of something bigger and you are not the only one holding it together, yet your contribution is important. You are part of a big sound-making team while at the same time you are being challenged creatively."

Image - Introducing Fraser Bruce, Chairman of the Rhythm Centre Trust and a passionate drummerIntroducing Fraser Bruce - Chairman, Rhythm Centre Trust:
   "Drumming has such universal appeal, it inspired me to make this process readily available to the rest of the community. This resulted in an application in January 2000 to the Auckland Regional Services Trust for funding to set up a Rhythm Centre where instruments could be made and repaired, where people could come and play and find out where rhythm was happening in Auckland..." more about Fraser Bruce
