General Information About InRhythm

We have created 1000’s of drum workshops and team building activities for many different organizations from charities to businesses within finance, investment, law and medical through to IT, advertising, fashion, sports, marketing and more. All team building activities should be about inclusion, appreciation and fun. That’s where our events really shine.The team building games based around rhythm can include drumming, body percussion and simple hand clapping to promote problem solving, effective communication and of course team work. With our professional facilitators these team building ideas will break down barriers between team members and allow healthy community development. With team bonding activities that promote healthy community in the workplace, you are able to encourage workers to stay longer and be more productive. This is the way to build your team!

Using rhythm as a team bonding game is powerful as it’s very interactive and relies on each participant to make the rhythm groove. And importantly, no experience is required to make this happen. This is where our experienced facilitators come into play! InRhythm team bonding games can work in any setting from a corporate conference, awards cereomony or special event through to a community based event or charity.

Drumming and rhythm is universal and defies genre, culture, race and socio economics. Drumming really is a universal language. As a team bonding idea drumming has taken the corporate world by storm over the past decade or so. In actual fact however drumming has been used for 1000’s of years to bring people together. Drumming is also used to alert people to news, to create ceremony, and in spiritual practice. Our great team bonding ideas will unite your team and leave them feeling a real sense of community!

The most potent team building activities are those that encourage people to transform individually and collectively. When transformation takes place there is only positive growth. In other words the more each individual and group transform the easier it becomes for them to work as a team and as individuals. Try drumming as a team building activity and will truly witness its ability to empower people!

A typical team bonding activity by InRhythm is rhythm based event as rhythm is inherent in us all. As well as drumming we also offer yoga, dance, body percussion, laughter workshops and more. These team bonding exercises can be used separately or combined to create a full day or week of activities.

Community Drumming Courses

African rhythms feel great to play! African drumming is about groups of people playing a number of rhythmic patterns simultaneously to create beautiful interlocking rhythms! It's community based music making in that you need more than one person to create the whole rhythm...a great way to meet new friends! From beginners through to advanced, drop in classes and performance courses all throughout Sydney and Central Coast & Wollongong.

African drumming is an evocative and provocative way to experience the power of rhythm. African drumming makes people dance! African rhythms feel great to play. Rhythms are played with a number of drummers, each drummer playing a different part to create a complete rhythm. The parts interlock with each other and the tension created between these parts is what gives the music its quality. African drums are the most popular tribal drums worldwide. They are very accessible to everyone, whether you have played music before or not. African Drumming is a great way to bring any group together to create a sense of community. African drumming is very popular in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. There are strong drumming communities in regional areas as well. Our mission is to create a centre where you can find and connect to your community. We send out a monthly newsletter that includes information on upcoming African drumming events and courses as well as free community events. So, if you're looking for drum lessons we have drumming workshops and courses Sydney wide and Central Coast. We aim to expand our drumming workshops and courses Australia wide. Drum workshops run from as little as one hour to full 6 week courses. To join a course go to what's on

Editorial by Kate Hamilton

It's a howling winter night with no moon and the beachfront streets of Bondi are empty but for the odd intrepid traveller pushing head down into the wind. I am dreaming of home, hot bath, bed. Instead I am crouched on a pint-sized plastic chair, in a circle with 10 other well-swaddled punters warming my cold hands on a cowhide and connecting with my inherent groove. No heal-your-inner-child hooha however - this is seriously funky stuff.

We are midway through a six-week community drumming workshop, held by Bondi-based rhythm maestros, In Rhythm. Some of us have never laid hand to a drum. Many haven't picked up an instrument since we retired our school recorders decades ago. But when we start to play, a strange thing happens.

Somewhere in the midst of those first nervous boom diddy kakas, we hit our stride and the big rockin' groove of a roomful of taut African djembes shakes us to the bone. 'Rhythm is innate,' says Beau of In Rhythm. 'We all have a heartbeat and our breath. Once we relax our conscious mind, it's like opening a doorway,' he says. After more than 10 years hitting the skins, Beau has been running drumming workshops for the past six years.

The community workshops focus on learning one African rhythm in all its parts, followed by a group performance. In Rhythm also facilitates corporate workshops and performs at events, as well as making, selling and repairing drums. Beau says the energy created by a group of drummers can have a profound effect on people. 'Not only do people get really energised but banging on a drum can also be a great release of tension. And a great way to meet like-minded people.' Before I know it, my inner child is up and shaking her thang. Who needs a hot bath?
