Dallas / Fort Worth Team Building Events

Drumming is the oldest form of Team Building.

Are you looking for interesting corporate  team building Dallas and Fort Worth events and group activities for your team that will Unite Uplift and Inspire you?

  • The Drum Cafe program is one of the very few programs where you can have entire audiences, large (5000 pax) or small (10 pax) fully engaged, inspired and participating.
  • As an event planner, you can design your event in any way you can dream, with our help if you need it, down to having the audience taking home the drum that they played with your company's logo screened on the surface of the drum.
  • As a content chair, stuck with somewhere to insert some form of team building into the agenda, you can be as creative as you want, because you can use the Drum Cafe in any circumstance. In doors, outside on the top of a ski hill or on a boat in the harbor.

The Drum Cafe works with corporate groups like yours from throughout the United States and Canada, running corporate team building events and group activities your team will really enjoy. Our Dallas team building sessions and morale events utilize concepts that have been around for centuries. Drumming  in a drum-circle, is the oldest known form of team building.

An interactive primordial experience is more valuable, and best of all, improves morale, increased camaraderie and enhanced productivity.

With operations centers now fully operational in San Antonio, Los Angeles and San San Diego, and with equipment and some team members in Seattle, San Francisco, and Arizona, our events are now available anywhere your group is getting together.

Our Top 10 Dallas team building event and corporate activity themes:


Music and Rhythm, like sports and the Olympics, are universal expressions that transcends all boundries, be they personal, organizational or cultural.


If your company can make music together, imagine how this could translate into productivity. This unifying experience creates the perfect platform for teams to experience the power of all working together to achieve a common objective.

StarbucksI think the better way to describe it is “completely blown away!” You did a phenomenal job! The executives (along with the attendees) were amazed at how well you incorporated our mission and objectives. I can honestly say that Drum Café was THE highlight of our conference. We continue to hear comments on how much fun it was and how impressed people were with you. We couldn't be happier and really wanted to express our sincere thanks for the performance you gave – you truly provided us an uplifting experience that enriched our daily lives!

The program is designed to:


  • Break down barriers.
  • Align to a common goal, mission or vision.
  • Explore diversity in each and everyone's unique contribution.
  • Celebrate diversity, in an all out engagement of self expression and leadership.

Team building has never been so effective! Each individual brings their unique sound into the mix to create a one-of-kind percussive orchestra-one that would not be the same without the people who are taking part. This is truly a case of unity through diversity.

 
First, we break down barriers, level the playing field, with a 15 minute opening of non-verbal communication. Music is a universal language, that allows us in a universal way to break down barriers and transcend the difference among us as humans and individuals. In Africa and in many other cultures around the world, drumming has been used for centuries to bring people together. 

Second, we align everyone to a common theme through the bass note, the foundation of the music. In every organization, before true success can be realized, there needs to be alignment or some sort. This alignment could be to the vision, mission or values of an organization. It could be alignment to a common goal or challenge. We use the power of the bass note, the alignment of the music, as the metaphor for demonstrating the power of alignment with in the group.

Third, we explore the diversity, in each and everyone's unique and individual contribution through the tone note, the communication note. Organizations these days are made up of a divers array of individuals. 

We close off with a fun high energy percussion set, embracing diversity handing out fun percussive instruments, in an all out celebration of self expression and leadership. This is where we take the drumming skills that we have learned in the beginning to create a unique song. A song that will be specific to that group. It is an all out celebration. A celebration of diversity, contribution and leadership. 

This is also a great lesson in leadership. Leadership is about knowing when to pay and not to play. When it is time to take a solo or when it s time to support your piers and the music.

Through the universal expression of music and rhythm, your organization will discover that the whole is greater than the sum of all its individual parts. 


Working collaboratively is not only fun, productive and inspirational, but it creates a space that transcends barriers of communication and culture, and it is from that place where the magic happens.
