Group drumming at weddings is quite the rage at the moment and I couldn’t be happier about this. Interactive wedding activities are really getting more unique, creative and engaging. Wedding drum circles fit pretty much before any of your wedding ceremonies. Well, almost every ceremony. A drum circle won’t work during your Mehandi ceremony since the hands of at least half of your guests will have henna on them! 

Let’s break down the possible wedding drum jam possibilities

You and your family have just agreed to go ahead with the wedding and are planning your ‘Roka’. This is the first time both the families are properly going to meet each other. And let’s be honest; you have a large immediate family and you want all of them to be a part of this so that you don’t have to personally tell each and every one how lovely your son/daughter in law is. Enter: An all engaging drum circle at your Roka ceremony. This activity will help break the ice and help you do your ‘Manwar’ (Typical Indian insistence to eat more) without any hesitation…

Next; you have agreed on a date, a venue and are figuring your guest lists out. How do you want to start the festivities of the wedding? You have all done the usual ‘Baraat’ ceremony accompanied by the Punjabi Dhols. What can we do that’s new? Let’s try a Taal Inc. Rhythmic Wedding Baraat Offering. Here’s where we will bring the usual dhol players for your typical Baraat celebrations but that is only the beginning. The Baraat will lead into the giant concentric circle setting where all your guests will be seated. Each guest will have a drum and in addition to this, we will have 4 professional percussionists and musicians creating music with you. Imagine the energy, feel the synchrony. 

We’re all used to practicing our dance moves for the ‘Sangeet’. And who doesn’t love a good Sangeet? The entire family comes together to dance to their favorite Bollywood track. Now, imagine one special act where the family comes together to learn some drumming and put up a powerful djembe performance of a special marriage rhythm from West Africa? Wouldn’t that be fun? I bet it would… The in-house band would be accompanied by drummers from Team Taal Inc. to help give them the confidence they need. This is also another place to feature a wedding drum event. A sangeet drum circle is a super way to kick off your rhythmic and musical Sangeet celebration. 

All in all wedding drumming or drumming in weddings seems like a super fit. It is engaging regardless of the age, musical background or gender of your audience. We carry age-appropriate percussion instruments and so you won’t need to worry about what the elderly participants of the drum circle will play. 

Call us to tweak how we can add rhythm and group drumming to your wedding celebrations. Let’s have a blast and give all your guests, friends and family an experience of a lifetime with Taal Inc.’s Rhythmic Weddings…

Come. Drum. Be One.
