Physical Health Benefits
Drumming is cardio. Exercise is good!
When drumming we release endorphins and enkephalins, and we feel good about ourselves!
Drumming boosts the immune system, increasing natural T-cells, helping the body combat cancer and other viruses.
Mental Health Benefits
Drumming is a workout for your brain. Research shows that the transmission of rhythmical energy to the brain synchronises the non-verbal lower area and the language/reasoning frontal cortex parts of the brain, producing clearer insight and certainty.
Drumming increases the brain’s output of Alpha waves which make us feel calm and relaxed, looking after our mental health.
Workplace Benefits
Drumming brings greater cohesion to a team, allowing a voice for all and demonstrating the importance of each role in the creation of a harmonious output.
Drumming enhances communication skills, supercharging the levels of connectedness and understanding within a team.

What our Clients say…
‘Sam and Jack were brilliant facilitators and delivered thoroughly enjoyable sessions to our site teams. From a lively warm up to a full-on samba ensemble piece, it is a super engaging activity where everyone plays an important part. We’ve had quite a few team building activities in the last few years, but this is certainly one of the most enjoyable and memorable and very inclusive. I would highly recommend it.’ Helen Smith, Apprentice & Early Talent Lead, GSK
