Connective Drumming - teambuilding workshops & energizers

"Strengthen the team-spirit with a workshop or wake up the audience with an energizer."

Drumming and creating rhythms together strengthens connection! It’s not strange that people are doing it for over a thousand years. I don’t use regular drums, but my own handmade Meraki Drums. It doesn’t matter if you’re experienced or not, everybody can join and play something. Listing to each other, creating beats and jamming together. This creates a feeling of oneness and PRIMAL STRENGTH. I draw inspiration from primal drumming, modern drumming, Japanese Taiko drums, New Zeeland’s Hakas. For teambuilding, company retreats, and energizers.

Energizers

Keep the audience of your event or congress awake and fresh with a drum-energizer. When the audience has to listen for a while, they can use some energy and movement in between. The ideal moment to use Connective Drumming. A few people come on stage to play the drums and the rest will play along with body-percussion. A lot of fun is guaranteed and the speaker or workshop that follows has an energized and more focused audience.

teambuilding/ Workshops

Drumming is fun and it boosts the energy and team-spirit. Together you create solid beats, you get in the flow, and learn to listen and respond to one another. We do some exercises to loosen up a bit, followed by challenges such as drumbattles. We conclude the session with a collaborative jam. A great boost for the team, or as I call it: The Tribe!

* The drums are electronic, so you can make them as loud or soft as you want. It will make a bit of noise, you’re drumming off course.

Make your own drum

Making something yourself gives you a feeling of fulfillment. That’s why it’s the main focus of this workshop. Every participant creates their own unique drum. With a nail, you carve symbols, patterns or your name into the drum. In this way, there will be all kinds of designs that have a primal feeling to them. After building we’re going to use the drums in a bunch of drum- and teambuilding exercises. In the end, you can take the drum home off course.

meraki drums

Meraki means: “To work on something with passion and putting your heart and soul into it.” That’s why it’s the perfect name for these drums. I designed them myself with signs and symbol that help to create that ‘tribe-feeling’. The sounds that they produce will surprise you thanks to the drum computer. I loved making these drums and that ‘Meraki-feeling’ is what I want to share during the drumming.
