Q. Do you think everyone
will enjoy the drumming?
A.
Yes!
We have had so many experiences where people,
who were very reluctant at first, had such a
fantastic time we had trouble getting our drums
back!
(These are often people who appear to be serious
& conservative.)
Drum Beats events are
so inclusive and build confidence in such a fun
way that participants cannot
help but enjoy themselves.

Q. We haven't played drums
before. is it for us?
A.
Yes!
Experience and skill level are not important.
Our primary objective
is to offer participants an experience of
the unity and community created by
interactive group dynamics.
The atmosphere is
one of fun and play as people of all levels
of musical ability are empowered to find their
own personal rhythm.

Q. Really? Even if i have
as much rhythm as a plank of wood?
A.
All living species have rhythm.
The chances are your
heart is still beating, so you have rhythm!
OK. Seriously now, many of us through no fault
of our own have lost that connection with our
own rhythm.
Drum Beats programs
are an excellent way to reawaken that connection
with our own personal rhythm.
Magic happens even for participants who feel
they are rhythmically challenged.

Q. Why do you use drums?
A.
The drum is probably the easiest instrument
to use.
Hitting a drum is therapeutic. It allows people
to release energy and express themselves in a
way not usually possible.

Q. Will you show us how
to play the drums?
A.
Yes, but the actual technique is secondary.
The focus is upon experiencing
the unity and community created by interactive
group dynamics.

Q. Why should I choose
Drum Beats?

You want a loud, rhythmical and exhilarating
experience that brings people together.
You would like your event to be hands-on and
involve everyone.
We are told by our clients that we are easy
to work with and have great facilitation skills.

of the interaction created by the Drum Beats staff.

Q. What age is best?
A.
That's a tough question because there is no
best age.
Drum Beats has shows appropriate to preschool-aged
children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens.
One of the really special attributes of a Drum
Beats party/ event is that people of all ages,
regardless of musical background, can enjoy music
together.

Q. How much space is needed?
A.
We can work with you and make almost any space
work.
Usually we use the space in the conference
room.
People will be seated at their chairs as for
usual presentations.
Basically, if there is room for the participants
to sit upon their chairs, they can easily also
hold a drum.
back to top
Q. Indoors or outdoors?
A.
We prefer indoors because the acoustics are
usually better.
At retreats or informal settings, outdoors
works really well and is a terrific way to clear
the mind and recharge the batteries.
back to top
Q. How long will it last?
A.
This really depends upon your objectives:
To break the ice at a Party, Wedding, Bat mitzvah,
or really for any type of celebration - 25 to
60 minutes
For a product launch - 15 minutes to a whole day
As a drum circle workshop - 50 to 90 minutes.
