Why use drumming as an interactive activity?
Drumming has been used to unite, uplift and inspire teams for thousands of years. The drum is an ancient tool of communication and community building. In Africa and in many other cultures around the world, before any major tribal decision is made, the community gathers together at the center of the village to make music. This joyous making of music breaks down barriers and creates a sense of unity, thus enabling communities to become more effective in their decision-making.
A business is a community and the value of a united community is priceless. Drumming in a group will build your team, enhance togetherness and improve group dynamics.
Interactive drumming promotes unity and team-building
Music is a universal language. Interactive drumming breaks down barriers of hierarchy, age, gender, culture and language. Drumming is a great ice-breaker, and is an effective way to get a diverse group of people communicating, listening to one another and working together as a team to create music. It evokes togetherness and leaves participants with a sense of belonging.
Drumming leaves the group stimulated, relaxed and more receptive
Participants quickly reach an ALPHA state, which enhances focus and clarity. Drumming is therefore ideal during long coferences – to revitalize and refocus participants between presentations or before speeches or awards. Drumming relieves stress - when you hit the drum you are placed squarely in the here and now.
Hand drumming sparks creativity
Participants are taught to stop thinking and start feeling the rhythm! Left and right brain are used simultaneously. This promotes creative or ‘out-the-box’ thinking.
Inspires learning and insight
The analogy between the orchestra and the team provides great insight. Participants learn through the musical experience just how important it is to collaborate and listen to one another. They also learn the value of their own individual contribution within the context of the team.
Promotes fun!
The ‘fun’ aspect of a Drum Café event is completely infectious: even the most reserved or cynical member of the team will be smiling and beating away on his or her drum by the end of the event. Interactive drumming with the Drum Café is a real celebration!
