The Magic Drum Orchestra is a 20-piece percussion group formed by Glyn Bush and Ralph Cree in 2005. They take the raw sound of a Brazilian "bateria" or samba band as their inspiration whilst twisting their music into more contemporary shapes with grooves based on Hip Hop, Funk, Afrobeat, Ragga, DnB, and Dubstep.

The band has made many appearances at festivals, street events, carnivals and club gigs and currently releases music on the Tru Thoughts label.
