Corporate Team Building Drum Circles
Tam Tam Sacree Drums facilitates a culturally specific drum circle with Master Drummer Abdoulaye Diallo for a group of people drumming together with each one playing one rhythm part without stopping or changing for the length of the pre-prescribed drumming part. That single part is locked into a combination of other rhythm parts that create an amazingly complex and powerful rhythm song. That rhythm song has a name, a purpose, and cultural history that has been passed down from generation to generation. That rhythm song can be played for an extended period of time. We provide quality interactive rhythm based events for multi-generation groups in Communities, Education, Health and Corporate workplace environments. Through hands on music making and interactive performances, we seek to enhance teamwork, cultural appreciation, community spirit. Each participant gets to share their own special unique beat with the group which connects everyone together. And in doing so, we break the ice for co workers to become new friends with one another in the community and work environment.
Drumming has been around for thousands of years. Virtually every culture on earth has a history of community drumming being used to unify the group. Different cultures produced different instruments and rhythms. Your company is a microcosm culture that can use the same approach to unify the group and improve their interactions, resulting in improved productivity.
Interactive Team Building Drum Circles can be extremely effective for companies that want to enhance the generation of new ideas and better teamwork. When people discover that they can collectively produce a good rhythm without any musical training or background, they start to realize that they can be more effective at work by putting their heads together and working as a team.
Cultural Drum Circles are where participants are encouraged to improvise within the rhythm structure provided by the facilitator. It is a direct parallel to the team improvising solutions to the group of tasks that the team needs to accomplish. Drumming immediately reduces stress and breaks down barriers between the participants. The process then brings the group back together in a nonverbal form of team interaction. The group learns how to listen to what is going on and responds to it in a way that adds to the total experience. Once people do this in a setting that is fun, they can then carry it back to their regular work tasks, resulting in better communications and increased effectiveness.
