Surviving the storm with Remo drums

By Mark Hunter

Sometimes, we are guilty of overlooking the critical items that make a drumming event possible – the drums themselves. These simple, ancient and powerful objects provide the reason why this blog even exists! We use Remo drums and have done so from the very beginning of DrumPulse. Remo drums look great, sound fantastic and can […]

Longevity of Drumpulse events

By Mark Hunter

We feel very fortunate to have been in at the beginning of the UK’s awakening to drumming events. 15 years ago, corporate team events tended to be competition based, with huge inflatable games and physical tasks all the rage! Once corporate drumming arrived on the scene, it was immediately popular among event organisers because it […]

Drumming event preparation

By Mark Hunter

Without sounding like Robert De Niro, there is definitely a mental preparation that I and our other head facilitators go through just before delivering any of our events. While I won’t start demanding my own trailer and make up assistant, mental preparation for an event really does help improve outcomes. If you have never seen […]

Learning something new in drumming events

By Mark Hunter

It has been back to school for me, to learn how to play the Cajon! While learning from scratch on this unfamiliar instrument, I immediately had a window into what participants must feel like when they take part for the first time in our drumming events and the journey they make. In our drumming events, […]

Drumming events again and again

By Mark Hunter

Occasionally, when talking with new clients and offering them team events ideas to choose from, we are told that they have done drumming once before and, therefore, they want to try something else. While I can completely understand this, and we are happy to recommend the other activities that we deliver through our sister company […]

The history of drumming (Part 3)

By Mark Hunter

This is my final segment of a whirlwind journey charting the prominence and purpose of drumming and rhythm in our society. Following on from my previous Part 1 and Part 2 posts, I now look at more recent developments, discussing how the world’s oldest external instrument is used in medicine, music and business development. 40,000 […]

Life after a drumming event

By Mark Hunter

At the end of our drumming events, there is often a wall of smiling faces, a line of friendly hands to shake and heartfelt words of thanks for the head facilitator and the team. We never take this for granted and really appreciate these moments. The impact of our drumming workshops on people taking part […]

Energisers can change the mood of your event, whatever your agenda

By Mark Hunter

One of the most common requests from enquiring clients is, “Can a drumming session totally revitalise and change the atmosphere of my event?” This is  because many conferences and meetings comprise long agendas with many speakers, often tackling difficult and challenging subjects. Introducing a team activity can lighten the mood or change the direction of […]

Capturing captivating Caribbean rhythms for team building

By Mark Hunter

One area of which we differentiate from other team building event companies is the use of authentic rhythms and drumming from across the world. I am writing this very short blog from Barbados, where I have just watched one of the island’s most famous cultural spectacles – the ‘Crop Over Parade’. Starting in the middle […]

Learning without learning in drumming workshops

By Mark Hunter

Learning a new skill alongside other team members can be challenging, particularly for senior managers surrounded by their subordinates. As adults, once we leave school or university, few of us find ourselves in a group learning situation. The beauty of our drumming workshop experience is that learning happens subconsciously while participants have a hilarious time […]

The history of drumming (Part 2)

By Mark Hunter

In my first history of drumming blog post, I looked at the role of drumming in early man and beginning civilisations. I now move forward in time to trace the role of drumming and rhythm around the globe, to show how drumming has evolved alongside our own human development, every step of way. We love […]
