Some images from a recent drumming team building event by BassToneSlap.com in London…
This is the kind of experience you can expect from a Samba drumming event:
www.BassToneSlap.com delivered this drumming team building experience for London Met’s business school as a way of increasing a sense of belonging….
This is an awesome advert by Citroen using drummers to give their advert a creative edge…
We love it!
We’re really into what these guys are doing at PDG. Check out this post about having your presentations remembered! It’s awesome!
Here’s a clip from the post… click the link at the bottom of this post to read the whole thing:
“Tests have shown that about 10% of oral presentations is remembered 72 hours later, but this figure rockets to 65% if you add pictures…
President Obama’s campaign speeches may have been effective without slides (even if you’re a political opponent of his you can’t argue with that; he did win the election), but how much of what he said did you remember 3 days later? Your memory was probably more of an emotional state in which you felt moved and motivated with a ‘Yes, we can!’ kind of spirit. But you probably didn’t remember much of the actual content.”

Here are a couple of our favourites from this weeks post to whet your appetite:
Vision and Communication
An inspirational leader has a very strong, customer-focused vision of where the business should be going. Importantly they are also able to communicate their vision so that their people feel they own it and know where they fit into it. The best leaders are great communicators who prefer plain speaking to jargon.
Risk Takers
They have a marked tendency to ‘bend the rules’, take calculated risks, and, on occasions, be guided by their gut-feelings. They also tolerate this in other people, recognising that a certain amount of flexibility is essential to adapt to circumstances and make real strides forward.

Anyone know why november is one of the biggest months of the year for team building? for the past 3 years November has been the month for team building.
You see I would have thought that because the christmas parties are so close you would have been saving yourselves to bring in evening entertainment for that.
Anyway, you might like to check out The Events House for their evening entertainment for Christmas.
This is a little info we acquired from a recent Drumming Team Building experience
1) What did you specifically like about your drumming experience?
How it brought the whole team together as one, rather than smaller groups. We didn’t have to break into smaller teams as is the case in many team building activities. With the drumming we were just one big group. I also liked how you could be as expressive as you wished – you could take part in a solo if you wanted to but there was no pressure to all do it.
2) What would you change/enhance about your drumming team building experience with us?
I would make it slightly longer! Although our hands were a bit sore after just 2 hours, I personally wanted it to go on just a bit longer
3) If you were going to, how would you describe your experience with us to your friends and colleagues?
Fun, enjoyable and great for team building as it is very inclusive of everyone in the group. The facilitators were great and very enthusiastic which helped everyone to get involved.
You know we’re massively into drumming team building here, drums are such a big part of our life. That said, there is another company we’ve been working with who I want to let you know about.
