What is Drum Jam's Team Beat Drumming?A group of people sitting or standing in a circle playing drums and world percussion instruments. A Professional facilitator leads the group from the centre of the circle, allowing the participants to relax and let go. Everyone is part of the performance; there is no audience. Numbers are unlimited, we can work with groups of 5 to 5000. The emphasis is on working together effectively as a Team to create music. |

What does drumming have to do with Teams?
Drumming
has been used for centuries to inspire people to achieve outstanding
results. If you look at drumming in the context of the military,
where teamwork is essential, it has for many centuries been the drummers
that have been the bond for the soldiers going to battle. Drumming not
only can inspire you but also be an effective way to bond the team to
create a positive result. It is only when
everyone in the team is working together, listening, giving, being attentive,
using their instrument to the best of their ability will the group be
able to achieve the ultimate experience which
is "being in the groove", something that
is not easily put into words. Once the team achieves this cohesiveness
with the help of an expert facilitator, who's job it is to bring out the
potential of the group, then then fun and enjoyment of the state of teamwork
really comes into effect and nothing is impossible for a group
of people working to the same beat. In time and rhythm with each
other and the enviroment in which they operate.
Using
drums and percussion is the perfect metaphor
for effective teamwork that happens in a corporation.Just as
each instrument in the percussion group needs to be operated at its peak
effectiveness in order for the team to create the ultimate result,
so does each person in a Corporation need to do his job to the best of
his/her ability in order for the team to produce the results for the company.
Just as in a corporation with a director, so in a percussion group the
facilitator's job is to inspire, guide and be accountable for overall
result of the percussion group and the music.
Drumming
is the most fundamental group activity for
celebrating success, unity or relaxing. Interactive drumming is
a cutting edge psychological tool used effectively in the corporate environment
for stress release, group bonding, team building, synchronising of thought
processes and breaking down of racial, cultural, gender and age barriers.
Drumming is Relaxation; the ultimate De-stressor
and energiser at a conference or training course.
Participating in a drumcircle is a relaxing experience for the heart,
mind and body. A drumcircle creates sub-sonic vibrations that influence
the harmonious alignment of our physical cells, emotional states, and
thereby our spirits. Cultures throughout the world have used the ageless
forces of rhythm to affect change.
"And it is also a wonderful
stress reliever and helps to rid us of addictions. As well as an enhanced
sense of well being, participants are also said to experience improved
concentration, feelings of self-esteem and are better able to communicate."

starter to the 2nd day of the team build to keep the enthusiasm of the
1st day going, helped to breakdown a few of those barriers as well that
may have still been there, nobody was afraid to make a fool of themselves
because they were amongst trusted colleagues. Just goes to show that
were are actually in tune with each other and that we can all sing of
the same hymn sheet!! Excellent and very patient instructor too!" Thanks

How Long is a Drum Jam Team Beat Event?
Hour
Long Events A room is set-up with a circle of chairs
or concentric circles, depending on the number of participants. Every
person is given a drum or a percussion instrument. A facilitator leads
the group to experience their greatest potential as a Team by using facilitation
games, group leadership and orchestration skills. Daylong
Events Participants are divided into teams. Each team is taught
how to create a musical piece. Each team then uses their new skills to
perform the piece in front of the other teams. Each team can also develop
leadership skills by teaching their musical piece to the other teams.
Customisation Each workshop is customized according to your Companies
specific needs. The importance of your staff working as a team is highlighted
throughout the session. All events are designed for the Novice musician,
even if you've never touched a drum before. Utilizing the two simple principles
of an effective team - a common vision and effective
communication - we build up an orchestra of music that engulfs
the whole group in magic.
"Somesh, we had a great time last Thursday
night. The vote was unanimous. Everyone was buzzing after the event and
it was a great talking point the next morning at work. I think our Events
Team was fully justified in trying something a little bit 'different'
to bring sometimes disparate members of the department together. It certainly
created a bigger buzz than just having drinks or a meal after work. The
set up was extremely professional.Thanks so much for your time. Hope to
see you again soon." Kath -The Walt
Disney Company, February 2004
