Zaboombala! Drumming Works
Why Drum?
drumWhy is drumming such an effective group activity?

A group who drums together is creating healing and enlivening effects on each person, their group relationships, and the organization of which they are a part -- simultaneously. What are these multi-layered benefits?
Good for your participants

Benefits to Individuals:
  • Stress reduction
  • Exercise
  • Self-expression
  • Creativity
  • Improved listening
  • Think out of the box
  • Camaradarie & Support
  • Practice non-linear thinking
  • Expanded learning modes
  • Strengthen mind-body connection
  • Relax while trying something new
  • Research-proven health benefits
As participants first meet the challenge of something new, and then ease into drumming under ZaBoombala guidance, they see, hear, and feel the rhythms come together.  They settle into the rhythms, and let go of the "wound up" energy of everday worklife.  They experience multi-sensory non-verbal communication with their group.  
Good for your Group

Benefits to Groups:
  • Collaboration creates cohesion
  • Sense of shared accomplishment
  • Success at something new and unknown
  • Experience importance of each part and how they fit
  • Shared touchstone memory of fun and success
The group's evolution from curious individuals to a grooving ensemble requires the same sort of "tuning in to each other" needed in successful team work.  
Good for your Organization

Benefits to Organizations:
  • Increased energy, enthusiasm, appreciation
  • Tuned-in teams with commitment to goals
  • New interactions across hierarchal & departmental lines
  • New creativity from unexpected places
The buzz from your group's drumming session will enliven your organization long afterward.  With a new experience and  metaphor about working together, new harmony arises.
