The Drum Cafe Story

Drum Café was started in Johannesburg South Africa in 1996 by Warren Lieberman, before expanding to all the major centers around South Africa.

Due to the enormous success in Africa and as a result of the Drum Cafe accepting numerous invitations to perform for major corporations in the 4 corners of the world, in 2002, the Drum Cafe went international.

Opening across the USA and Canada, the UK, Germany and Sydney Australia, the Drum Café has embarked on developing an international brand, with a goal to be able to service almost every company in the world, the Drum Cafe is aiming at opening a Drum café in every major city across the US, Canada, Europe and Australasia.

Conferences tend to be held on a national level and sometimes on an international level. When Drum café performs at one of these conferences, we are continually being asked whether we have a branch in a certain country or a certain city.

The visual aspect to the name "The Drum Café" has been a key to the success of the brand. When people hear the name, “The Drum Café” they immediately develop a picture in their mind of a little café where people are sitting around drinking coffee banging on a drum.
