Looking for an Interactive Program to Suit Your Event Needs?


Drum Cafe has several core programs, depending on client need. We completely customize each and every event specifically to you or your clients needs.

During our free event consultation our staff will work with you to determine if Drum Cafe is a fit and ensure you can structure an  event to specifically meet your goals. At that point, we will provide reccomendations and whatever supporting material you need for committees etc. 

Drum Cafe events do run the gammut; if it's greeting Bill Clinton, Tony Blair or Prince Charles, or just getting your team, aligned and inspired for a product launch.. we've done it, so ask us for ideas, they're free and we're happy to share!

We cover all the different kinds or applications that you can imagine and then some. If there is something that you have dreamed about, then we can do it.

In the past we have done anything from team building events on the top of a mountain,  a boat in the harbor,  to a "Boma" in the jungles of Africa.

We have kicked off the World cup cricket tournament, opened the Live Earth, and team built the German national Soccer team.

Who ever, what ever, where ever or when ever ..........We can do it, and do it well.


A few applications

Content considerations

There are a lot of factors you have to consider when looking to implement a Drum Cafe interactive drumming program. The type of program, the way it will be delivered and the way it will be customized, can very often depend on where in the day you are looking to slot the Drum Cafe content piece.


We need to look at
  1. What it is you want to achieve by bringing in the Drum Cafe
  2. How many participants you will have at the event.
  3. Where you have time to slot it in.
  4. What your budget is, because we can really put on something that is super extravagant.
  5. Do you want to have the participants actually take the drum that they play at the event home with your corporate logo screened on the drum head.
Our account managers and facilitators have seen it all, and experts in designing a proper implementation of the Drum Cafe into your event. Give us a call, send us an email and we will be happy to have one of account managers discuss some possibilities, get creative with you and design an event that will be a huge success.

If you just want something simple you could just have your event look like this.

The Accountant Story

We arrive at the venue to prepare for the group drumming component of the conference. To the surprise of a waitress, we start unloading drum after drum and by the time we get to 50, she asks, "Who is going to play all those drums?" 

We say“200 accountants!” 

We unpack 200 drums and form a circle of chairs. The delegates are completely unaware that they are about to drum and are now beginning to arrive at the venue for their annual conference. We begin to play our drums announcing that the program is about to commence. 

When the accountants enter the room, they are truly surprised. On each seat, is a drum, and as they move through the room and find a seat, the music continues, filling the room and creating an electric atmosphere. 

Tentatively, a few brave individuals start beating away on their drums. An enthusiastic person gets carried away with the energy in the room and leaps into the middle of the circle for a quick dance to the wild applause and cheers of the group. The rhythm becomes infectious and soon everybody is tapping on his/her drum. 

Then, without saying a word, our facilitator gets up and starts to orchestrate the group with a repertoire of body language signals, bringing the 200 entry-level musicians into perfect harmony. This is the beginning of the magic of the Drum Café drum circle.

During the course of an hour, participants are taught simple drumming rhythms through our successful methodology. We alternate drumming performances with interactive sessions to create a magical event where the audience themselves are the orchestra. At the end of the hour, participants are left feeling energized and exhilarated both as individuals and as a group.
