Connection through collective rhythm
Group drumming creates instant participation. Everyone contributes, listens, and responds, building connection without the pressure of performance or musical skill.
Accessible by design
No experience required, no complex equipment, no musical jargon. Sessions are structured so everyone can take part fully from the first beat.
…it played a meaningful role in shaping my character
“O7 Drum Project is a project I truly love. It gave me many great memories and contributed a lot to my growth as both a musician and a person. Through O7, I learned important lessons about teamwork, discipline, and music, and it played a meaningful role in shaping my character. I’m forever grateful for the experience and everything it taught me.”

O7 will get you there, just enjoy the ride!
O7 was a shot in the dark, one person’s belief that musicality could happen without trained players, without conventional instruments, with just strength and a dream. He made the instruments from scratch. He made many of us believe that musicality, dance, and joy are part of every human being. We can all make it if we just try hard enough. O7 will get you there, just enjoy the ride!

Drums crafted from reclaimed urban materials
All O7 Drum Project instruments are handmade by Filipe Henda from reclaimed water drainage pipes and simple design solutions that minimise materials and simplify the building process. The design was born out of necessity: without resources to buy new drums, Filipe Henda developed practical methods to build instruments that made the project possible and could still withstand professional use and performance.
