Our high-energy interactive corporate drumming and percussion events provide a fun, new way of communicating and bringing people together through team work. From team building activities and away days to icebreakers for thousand strong conferences, Unbeatable Energy sessions will energise and invigorate any gathering.

“It immediately brought the energy up in the room for the rest of the day and feedback so far is saying it was the favourite part of the day! Thanks for a brilliant session.”

A flying start

Unbeatable Energy regularly provide corporate team building activities at conferences and events to get them off to a flying start, energise weary delegates in the middle, or deliver the grand finale.

Alongside our off the shelf sessions detailed below, we are more than happy to craft experiences to suit your requirements. Just get in touch to talk about your own unique event.

Grand Drum Circle

40-250 delegates
60-90 minutes

This session works well as a highly invigorating and exhilarating finale to a conference.

All delegates participate in an African Drum Circle session, creating an exciting sound using African ‘Djembe’ hand drums, bells, shakers, wood blocks, and other percussion instruments. Delegates are taught a series of simple and accessible rhythms which they learn to weave together into a complex and fantastic sound. As the group becomes transformed into a powerful team playing multi-part rhythms, they will experience the collective power of group drumming.

Rio samba drum circle

Capture the excitement of the Rio 2016 Olympics, with an authentic samba drumming session that will energise delegates and bring a carnival atmosphere to your event.

With real Brazilian samba instruments, delegates will discover new ways to communicate and work together – all while creating fantastic samba rhythms. Samba drumming sessions can be customised to fit your corporate event needs. Click below to find out more.

Boomwhacker Conference Ice Breaker

30-4000 delegates
20-30 minutes

A powerful energiser to kick off the day, wake people up after lunch, or provide a unique after-dinner slot.

Boomwhackers are coloured tubes that create different harmonic tones when played. As delegates identify how each colour creates its tone, they will be given simple rhythms to play in teams. Each team’s rhythm is layered together and within minutes a complex six-part rhythm is created. The Boomwhacker Conference Ice Breaker session is very successful in a conference theatre or cabaret seating format. It can very quickly provide the feel good factor, creating interaction and connection between delegates seated around the room.

Challenge session

30-125 delegates
60-75 minutes

Uniquely designed by Unbeatable Energy to encourage positive dialogue and collaboration between delegates who may not normally work together, this session is the perfect levelling activity for businesses and organisations who wish to integrate new staff or merge teams.

Using either African Drums or Boomwhackers, delegates learn the basics then split into smaller teams to devise a short rhythm or choreographed piece. The teams return to play together with each team showcasing what they have achieved. The final outcome is the creation of a musical piece, built up from the core rhythm and each group’s unique compositions.

‘Rubbish’ Drumming Workshops

This video is from a workshop we ran for a Music Teachers' Conference. The workshop was about demonstrating how resourceful and creative music can be; simply using the items we would normally throw away in the recycle bin.

Team drum circles

Team Drum Circle workshops explore the links between making music and good communication. Our unique approach has been developed over 10 years, assisted by management development consultants and clients’ feedback, and so we know we have a winning formula.

Our sessions encourage:

• individual expression
• improved listening skills
• increased team rapport
• and a reduction in hierarchical or other organisational barriers

Through an environment that puts everyone on a level playing field, and facilitates individual creativity and rapid learning, delegates are able to listen to those around them and work together – essential skills in any business environment.
