What happens when a group of corporate trainers, coaches and facilitators come together and sign up for the Taal Inc. Find Your Inner Rhythm Intensive Course? Answer: It’s a week full of deep-dives and discussions about how one can apply this newly learned skill with the respective groups that they already work with. This naturally leads to brainstorming and ideation for cool team building games and activities, especially experiential learning team building activities that can be adapted across different organisational contexts. Having been in this field for over two decades, it is truly refreshing for me to witness the innovation of today’s generation of corporate trainers as they come up with a wide range of new and unique group activities for team building.

What Is the 80/20 Rule in Drumming?

The 80/20 rule in drumming is based on the idea that a small set of core principles creates most of the impact in a group experience. In many ways, the fundamentals of drumming and team building remain constant; you can’t really reinvent the wheel. What makes the real difference, however, is how these fundamentals are presented, facilitated, and debriefed. By adapting these elements to suit the specific group in front of you, the same simple structures can lead to far more relevant and meaningful outcomes. This high level of customisation is what makes corporate team building activities effective in Pune, and anywhere else for that matter. In the context of drumming team building, the flexibility of the medium ensures there is always scope to refine, adapt, and keep chiseling the experience for every new group.

What is the drum circle activities for employees?

Drum circle activities for employees are structured yet flexible experiences designed to strengthen communication, collaboration, and engagement within corporate teams. In this year’s train-the-trainer course, a majority of the participants came from the corporate field, which naturally gave our debriefs a more official and workplace-focused tone, with deeper scope analysis and practical application. We explored a wide range of corporate team building ideas and interactive team building games, using drum circles as the medium to help facilitators stand out in a competitive space. With so much noise in the corporate drum circle market, creating meaningful employee experiences requires a solid foundation one that we spent an entire week building through focused work on corporate drumming team building.

We explored various office team building exercises in case we didn’t have the chance to work in a circular format. Along the way, we discussed the importance of inclusion in our facilitator linguistics, as well as how to share the spotlight especially since experiential learning team building activities and Indian drum circle sessions thrive on a symbiotic relationship between the participants and the facilitator. It’s more of a dance than a typical leader-and-follower format.

We built a new glossary for group activities for team building as well. Here, each student would come up with, execute, and add an activity to a mastersheet, along with documentation of what worked and what didn’t. In this way, we learned from each other’s experiences and were able to springboard off one another. So the next time any of the students went searching for new group activities for team building especially within drumming team building there would be a ready reckoner available for the same.

In addition to this, groups were invited to the venue to experience drum circles. The students got to immediately apply their theories and concepts in a practical way. This helped get immediate feedback of what works and what doesn’t.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with such a group of eager students who invest time, effort, energy and money to learn and spread the joy of group drumming with various groups. Whether it’s a corporate activity or a community building session, one thing is true: drumming works. 

What’s your reason to drum?
