"The afternoon with Unbeatable Energy was really enjoyable and worthwhile. It was amazing how it brought the team together. We would definitely recommend this event for any team wanting to do something different and have some fun."
Through drumming workshops and events, Steve and his team have unlocked the undiscovered creativity and rhythm in hundreds of adults and children across the country.
From his early days in classical percussion, Steve Rivers discovered his passion for African drumming in 1995. Since then, he has immersed himself in the rich history and culture of West African rhythms, making multiple visits to Gambia and Senegal to deepen his understanding and refine his skills. Most recently, Steve returned from a study trip to Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where he trained with the renowned Griot musician Sidiki Dembele, further enriching his drumming expertise.
Steve and his Unbeatable Energy team have inspired creativity and rhythm in countless adults and children across the UK, delivering workshops that are as educational as they are energizing. One of Steve’s most memorable achievements was at the 2006 Successful Selling Conference at Birmingham’s ICC, where he led 1,200 delegates in a high-energy Boomwhacker session. In just 10 minutes, the entire audience was unified in rhythm, creating an unforgettable wave of enthusiasm.
Steve’s adventures have taken him far and wide. A standout moment was traveling to Japan to deliver a 20-minute percussion workshop at a prestigious conference. The session was so successful that the company invited him back for another performance in Gothenburg, Sweden. Yet, the experiences Steve treasures most are the lasting social legacies his workshops have created: couples who met through his drumming classes and now have families, and young musicians he has inspired to become skilled djembe players and music educators. Beyond African drumming, Steve has explored Brazilian Samba and developed innovative sessions like “Rubbish Rhythms,” making music from discarded items. Known for his playful and engaging style, Steve brings a touch of humour and fun to everything he does. When he isn’t drumming, he can be found perfecting his French or baking sourdough bread—with plenty of laughs along the way!
