Why choose drumming for your team building?

Drumming doesn't need to interrupt your work day too much - it takes only an hour. The positive effects are immediate and long-lasting. We can come to you in the morning at 8 am and be out of there by 9 am! We guarantee an invigorating start to the day. Or, finish your day slightly early, and an hour later, your group will have bonded and will emerge on a high! Our events are built on entertainment, team training and physical and mental shifts and the combination of those depend on your event ...

How long is a Team Building or Breakout event?

Team Building Events are between 20 and 60 minutes, our breakout events are up to 3 hours.

Do we need a venue for our Team Building Event?

No, we can work in any venue including hotels, conference venues or meeting rooms. For large events, we often work in theatres and exhibition halls.

What AV and lighting do you need?

For smaller groups, we need no lighting or AV, but from 50 pax up, we require one microphone per facilitator. Extra lighting is always a bonus but not a necessity.

How many drumming performers are in your team?

We have 3 drummers for up to about 150 delegates, and then 4 or more depending on the size greater than 150 people. We have done shows with a cast of 20 when required.

How much a Drum Cafe event cost?

The show cost depends on the number of delegates, the city, the date and time. Send us an email to info@drumcafe.co.uk, we will prepare you a proposal.

Is a Drum Cafe event very loud?

Our shows are around 85 decibels, which is not loud at all. Most of the volume comes from our performers and we can control our own volume.

Can we do interactive drumming during dinner?

Yes, definitely, we often work after the main course, around tables of ten. It's a great way in which to start off the evening.

Can Drum Cafe work in multiple languages?

Yes, we have facilitators in many languages, in fact, we are also able to facilitate an entire event without saying a word… non-verbal instruction creates a great atmosphere and works very well for events where there are multiple languages represented in the audience.

Can Drum Cafe do black tie events?

Yes, we often work in very formal events. Our event is dignified and high energy at the same time.

How do we get drums onto seats?

We generally like the event to be a surprise, so we either load the room before delegates arrive, or immediately when our event starts… for an event of 200 pax, we can load the room in about 15 minutes.

How big are the drums?

They are Djembe drums, about as long as from your elbow to your fingertips... and are played sitting down with the drum in your lap ... It's very comfortable and natural to play the drum like this.
