Drumming is an ideal way to bring staff together in a fun relaxed environment as part of a Team Building exercise. It creates a unity which will remain long after the drumming is over. To start it helps to break down barriers as everyone starts on an equal footing. The exercises and rhythms we play, although traditional, have been purposely chosen for Team Building to get the staff to interact with one another. To create one harmonious rhythm out of many drums everyone has to listen to and beat in time with each other. This can only be done with everyone being in the present and paying attention to those around them. What better way to release stress and create unity amongst the team than beating the drum ? Drumming is a great way to bring your family and friends together for a fun-filled experience that’ll be the highlight of your Party or Function. From children’s birthday parties to weddings and product launches we will come out and provide an exhilarating experience that won’t soon be forgotten. We use medium sized drums for our drum circles for Team Building, Parties and Functions. All our drums are imported from Ghana and Ivory Coast and are covered with goatskin. We also offer drumming performances to entertain your guests as they arrive at your party or function. And, for a more spectacular show why not include African dancers or Fire dancers as part of the performance. The djembe drum has a great cultural heritage in Africa. It is the drum of the Mandinka people and it’s origins date back to the great Malian Empire of the 12th century. Of all the African drums the djembe is regarded as the most popular and is now found all over the world. The drums are carved from a single log, and the head covered with goatskin to provide deep thunderous low tones and crisp high tones. A master djembe drummer is referred to as a djembefola. The benefits of djembe drumming are numerous, the most well-known being stress reduction. Studies have also shown that regular participation in a drum circle helps boost the immune system.
