The O7 story

Creating unforgettable drumming experiences through shows and workshops since 2010

The O7 Drum Project journey was shaped by ups and downs, resilience, and moments of clarity. It was carried forward by bright ideas, by friends, and by a small group of passionate people who believed in the project when belief was all there was.

…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. Im 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, a one man beliefe that he could achieve musicality with no music players, with no instruments, with just his strength and dream. He got to made the instruments from scratch. He made a lot of us to believe musicality and dance and joy are a 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!
