The Drum Cafe experience provides the ideal platform for teams to experience the power of working together to achieve a common objective. Our facilitators quickly break barriers and draw people together, which is particularly useful when participants are unfamiliar with each other. Interactive drumming is an exercise in communication; it promotes the power of non-verbal communication and allows participants to feel the power of group energy directly. Any feelings of isolation and conflict disappear; participants bond and become a motivated and unified group.

Examples:

 

Interactive drumming, Woolworths, 4 800 people drum together at Sydney Entertainment Centre, 2005

 

Interactive drumming for Deutsche Leasing, 1 400 people, Frankfurt, October 2005 etc...

In Zulu it means all together. You and us. Everyone with their own drum. Feel a new, unstoppable force as our master drummers inject their brand of energy and the group responds, releasing inhibitions, finding powerful new ways to communicate.

 

A must for general session kick-offs, ice breakers closing ceremonies and awards banquets.

 

ALWAYS a very powerfull moment when kept as a Surprise.

Interactive drumming with the Drum Cafe is an ideal activity for large audiences when all delegates are together.

 

It is a great way to very quickly, in a succinct wa, deliver a clear and powerfully message of community, alignment, communication and diversity to audiences, large or small in a fun, interactive manner. The power of group energy is intensified in larger groups, and the drumming will start or end your function on an explosive high!

Examples:

 

Texas Library Association - 3 000 librarians

 

Interactive drumming for Microsoft Tech-ed, Amsterdam. 6000 people, June 2004 etc...

Conferences

Traditionally, drumming has been used as a prelude to community functions. Open your conference with group drumming and get off to a powerful start. Drumming quickly breaks the ice and breaks barriers between participants.
To relax and invigorate participants, treat them to a break-out drumming session in-between speeches and presentations. Since companies spend a lot of money arranging conferences, it ’s vital that participants remain focused and connected.
Or, end with a drumming session to leave a lasting memory of the event, and leave participants feeling inspired!

Examples:

The opening of the World Petroleum Conference

 

Interactive drumming for Yamanouchi Pharmaceuticals' Pan European Conference (many language groups represented - event run purely with body language), Orlando, Florida, 1200 people, August 2004 etc

Examples:

Interactive drumming consolidates a long-term relationship between the company and clients by giving back to clients in a unique and positive manner. A shared drumming experience facilitates the development of loyalty and trust.

Examples:

Gala Events, Fundraisers and Award Ceremonies

The energy that the Drum Café generates is guaranteed to build a community and liven up any event. Give each person a drum and let them beat along at gala events and fundraisers, and rumble with applause at award ceremonies.

Examples:

Transformation and Change Management

The assurance of a sound foundation within an organisation can assist both groups and individuals to better cope with change. Interactive drumming provides insightful analogies and through being a part of the experience, delegates are able to accept change as a necessary component of evolution and growth within their working environment.
Examples:

Mergers

Interactive drumming gets people working together to make music as one and provides great insight into the synergy between individual and team. It follows that drumming is an ideal activity for the fusion of groups and/ or the merger of companies. The Drum Café experience shows the group that if they can play to the same beat and listen to each other, then they have the potential to make music as a united company!

Examples:

The Sanofi-Aventis merger on 3 continents, the Sprint/Nextel merger in New York, the JP Morgan/Chase/Bank One merger etc...
