What others think of us


John Tavendale, James F Stephen Architects, Milton Studio, Glamis
"Introducing a team from our Architectural practice to an African drumming workshop was a first class experience in co-ordination and jointly working together to build something rewarding and enjoyable. Each player had a valued and crucial role which built together to form the whole sound developing important skills for multi-disciplinary construction projects".

Angus Carers Conference 2004
"I popped into the drum workshop to see how things were going -
the laughter rivaled the noise of the drums. Excellent therapy for stressed
carers."


Standard Life team building workshop hosted by Simetri Solutions

“Beats Working opened our 2 day manager’s away-day and were a huge success with some of the managers reporting that they were the highlight of the first day! Steve Haden, who led the workshop of 12 people, is a natural teacher aswell as talented drummer - which I think sets Beats Working apart from other companies. Steve broke down the challenge into small manageable sizes and clearly communicated both the practical and mental skills that are required when learning to drum. The drumming workshop was extremely good fun and had the effect of relaxing everyone and creating a true sense of achievement, especially as by the end of our relatively short session (1?hours) the team were able to follow complex drumming rhythms and even create some of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beats Working.” Fran Diack, Simetri Communications: conferences, motivational events and film. www.simetri.co.uk   Winner of 'Best Motivational Event' and Highly Commended for 'Best New Company' at the Corporate Event Association Awards 2004.

“ On the wettest event we have ever had, some of the greatest team bonding arose with the help of Steve, John and their drums.  It was great fun on a miserably wet day.”  www.activategroup.co.uk

 

A typical workshop environment

The Benifits of Team Drumming

Team building
The drumming session is a powerful experience of bringing people together and to create common goals. Energising, motivating and enjoyable, the workshop breaks barriers of cold working relationships to develop fun that will stay in the mind.

Stress relief
This is probably the best technique of relieving negative stress and transforming it into positive energy ready to use in the work place.

Self development
Drumming allows people to develop their self confidence as well as create an awareness of their role in the work. To gain confidence is to gain new motivation. In a group, everyone has a role to play whether they are leading or supporting the work.

Leadership challenges
Leadership in business is about claiming your space. It demands courage, creativity, authority as well as a real awareness of the environment. This exercise helps identify leadership potential in the team and to observe how it is managed.

Communication enhancement
These sessions are a great way of learning to listen to each other to enable the rhythm to work. A regular and synchronic rhythm in music, in life or in the workplace is the root of success. The workshop will also stimulate a fresh awareness of body and non-verbal language.



Every business has different needs and we do not assume that we have the answer in just drumming experiences. Every session is prepared by our Development team and your Human Resources team, based on the goals and issues you want to address. In between the sessions, the facilitator will highlight positive and negative dynamics of the group and how to translate it into the work place.

This is a unique experience for your staff to transform the way they perceive each other, to improve the way they work together and to be proud of working for your company.
