Testimonials

"Parramatta City Council was really pleased that Andrew could perform at Council's event for the International Day of People with Disability 2011. Andrew played to several well known songs appealing to a diverse audience and was really well responded to, with people even getting up and dancing. His performance and the energy it brought livened up the event and fit perfectly with celebrating and showcasing the skills of people with disabilities."

Thank you again for your performance, and happy festive season!

"Andrew Hewitt definitely lived up to the title of Australia's Most Inspirational Drummer, through his fantastic and impressive performances at our festival. Not only was his exceptional talent for playing the drums extremely entertaining, but it was his charming personality and positive attitude that made his attendance such a wonderful experience. Despite the issues on the day, Andrew was able to take it all in his stride and was very gracious. Andrew's supportive family team is very inspiring and we wish Andrew Hewitt all the best for the future."

Thank you Andrew, on behalf of the staff of City of Canterbury Library and the kids, for running a drumming workshop during the school holidays.

You're a true professional. The kids that came were in awe of you and had a fun time. Other libraries should follow suit, especially for International Day for People with a Disability events. It wasn't even that loud!! Keep on rocking.

Hi Andrew, I heard one of your 'blistering solo performances' at the 2008 High Beam Festival, and I was in awe.

Dear Andrew, we all had a great time with you at Awakenings, listening to your performance and participating in your awesome drumming workshop.

So cool! I was busking in Horsham and by complete fluke I walked into a hall to see this guy playing Highway Star with a backing tape of just guitar, bass and keys. This guy is a monster I'm telling you. Truly awesome person.

Hey Andrew, I really enjoyed your session at the ACPA Conference in Adelaide in March. I found it energising, inspiring and informative. Drumming could be such a great option for people with cerebral palsy. As you pointed out, it works at so many levels - as therapy, for fitness and coordination; as recreation, for good simple fun, great sounds and social opportunities; and as a potential professional pursuit. Best of luck with your plans.

Andrew Hi
I was at your workshop. I guess what I would say is I loved your spontaneous chatty style. It really connects with people so keep it up. The combination of chat and entertainment via your drum playing provides a nice presentation balance too.

All the best

Hi Andrew

I enjoyed your presentation immensely.

I don’t have any suggestions other than perhaps a bit of Ginger Baker!
