Drumming Up A Team
Guaranteed to build stronger, more productive teams. Create unity while celebrating diversity, and infuse the 21st century work environment, as well as people’s lives, with an upbeat spirit of confidence and celebration.
Event Overview
Building Teams, Uniting Companies
Drumming up a Team not only creates a sense of comradery, but the act of playing music within a group teaches people to listen! By encouraging individuals to pay attention to the rhythm of the group they, in turn, become more aware of their position within it. Team building with drums has proven benefits in increasing employee satisfaction, loyalty, and productivity while decreasing stress. Each participant is given their own drum or percussion instrument and they then prepare for a variety of fun facilitated activities!
Variations of this program:
Energizing Rhythms™ (15 min. – 1 hr): A celebratory team building opening/closing activity for corporate events, retreats and conferences.
Rhythms Of Community™ (45 min. – 2 hrs): Team building, energizing and celebrating rhythms for individual departments and the entire workforce.

Everyone loved it! We may be interested in doing another Drumming up a Team with almost 200 people!
"We had an awesome time! The team didn't want to stop drumming! I told them their food is getting cold, so they finally stopped! LOL! Jim was awesome as well! He kept our energy level up and gave us a brief history of drumming. I will recommend this activity for the rest of my meeting planner team!!! Thank you,"

Just wanted to let you know that activity was a huge hit! Deric and the team did an amazing job…Very well done.
The feedback has been nothing but positive. I received several unsolicited comments from many people who could not say enough great things about the program and the facilitators. It was definitely a success!
