I asked CHAT GPT what were some of the benefits to drumming together in a group. I have to say it was right on!

1) Stress reduction: Drumming can help to reduce stress and tension, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.

2) Improved mood: Drumming has been found to release endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that can improve mood and reduce pain.

3) Increased focus and concentration: Drumming requires focus and concentration, which can help to improve overall cognitive function.

4) Improved coordination and dexterity: Drumming requires the use of multiple limbs and muscle groups, which can help to improve overall coordination and dexterity.

5) Enhanced teamwork and communication: Drumming in a group requires teamwork and communication, which can help to improve overall team dynamics and collaboration.

6) Boosts creativity: Group drumming can be a powerful tool to boost creativity and innovation as it allows individuals to think out of the box and come up with unique ideas.

7) Increased sense of community: Drumming in a group can foster a sense of community and belonging, promoting a sense of unity and connection among the participants.

8) Improved self-esteem: Group drumming can help individuals to feel more confident and better about themselves, which can boost self-esteem.

And best of all anyone can do it. Who couldn't use more of all of that!

Looking back a year ago, I was thinking of packing it in... getting rid of my equipment and calling it a day. However, many people told me... "don't do it, Just hang in" they said, so I did.

So here we are on the cusp of 2023 and while things aren't back to "normal", things are moving in the right direction - a new normal but a good one and I'm really glad to be part of it.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to those of you have been so supportive, those of you on here who take the time to read what I post, those of you who make comments and generally make me feel like I'm doing something valuable for others. I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

It's been challenging to recreate my live interactive presentation over ZOOM but thanks to a lot of new tech, (and help from some really smart people) I have found a way. If you have a team that needs to reconnect, re-engage and more importantly, remember what it's like to have some fun together I have just the program. In many ways, its even more robust than what I could offer in-person and will do wonders for your teams mental health and well being. Don't wait, let's talk today. 416-767-3786

It started last week… eight huge road cases, filled with over 350+ Instruments that traveled 4000 Kilometres to finally get set up in this beautiful room. Everything is finally ready to go for this Sales Kick-Off where attendees will experience how knowing to how to listen better will help them be competitive. Listen. Collaborate. Achieve.

See what level of teamwork this group achieved after spending time learning how to listen and collaborate better. These people are not musicians - or are they?

It was a beautiful summer day and this team wanted to do something special for their company offsite. It's funny, I hardly ever get to do this outside but they did it old school. A place in a park. I rolled my cart of drums where cars could not go. Hear what they have to say about the experience... http://bit.ly/2kKV5rn
