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.

Interactive African Drumming Workshops and Group Drum Sessions

Drum Cafe Offer Interactive African Drumming Workshops and Group Drum Sessions for Events & Conferences.

GROUP DRUMMING WORKSHOP SESSIONS LEAVE GUESTS FEELING GOOD, BOTH PHYSICALLY AS WELL AS MENTALLY, ABOUT BEING PART OF A TEAM

The Drum Cafe was born from doing Traditional African Drumming Workshops as a style of interactive team building for groups. This includes including African Percussion and Rhythm sessions for private, corporate and school teams.

We started off as an interactive drumming venue and soon branched into the world of Events, delivering African drumming workshops and Group Drum Sessions for meetings and conferences as a interactive team building activity.

Over the years we have, as an African Drumming Company, refined and elevated our product to a level that is truly world class.

Our team building sessions featuring drumming and group drum workshops for events are designed to be both fun and engaging; energizing and at the same time highly relevant to the message being delivered at the event.

Our Group drumming workshops and Team building programs are designed with a themed core message centred around Collaboration and Unity; we leave guests feeling good both physically energised as well as positive about being part of a cohesive team.

Drum Sessions and African Drumming Workshops are ideal for Team Building

African Drumming Workshops that Create Unity and Group Cohesion

GROUP DRUMMING SESSIONS CREATE THE PERFECT METAPHOR FOR UNITY…

The Drumming Orchestra we create is the perfect metaphor for unity; the Drum session leaves delegates with this authentic taste of unity that the event is aiming to teach.

In a UK Drumming Workshop & team building session, every person gets a drum to play and within minutes your group is transformed into a full African Drumming Orchestra; having the exhilarating experience of being a musician for a moment. (Ask any musician what it feels like to be part of a large group and you will know why people love it).

Our Drum Sessions will practically demonstrate the value of Group Unity, by effectively showing how the group performance is not only affected by each individual’s personal effort, but also by the synchronised group effort as a whole.
