Overview:
Drumming has been used to stimulate and inspire for centuries and now you can have everyone dancing to the beat of your tune with a dynamic samba drumming workshop.

Using authentic Brazilian instruments including the Surdo (the large bass drum), Ago-go Bell and Snare Drum, participants will experience the passion, rhythm and energy of South America.

Format:
After the initial Samba drumming lesson you'll learn an authentic piece of Samba Reggae- Brazilian dance. The choreography is very simple, designed for complete beginners and delivered with humour and energy. The result - everyone, including the least likely candidates, moving to live percussion without inhibitions in a short space of time.

Everyone will learn the rhythms ‘parrot fashion' and very quickly the group will have an understanding of the beats they will need to all play and create the overall sound. After only 45mins they will be playing a coherent Samba Reggae piece complete with musical calls and breaks! Expect lots of energy, lots of noise and a real sense of achievement.

Feedback on this event from our clients:
“The workshop itself was brilliantly executed by the facilitators, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! And as for you Suzy and the team, you were all excellent and really helpful throughout the process and would not hesitate to use chillisauce again!"
- Norwich Union

"Adrian was a great teacher, and everybody really got into the rhythm of things (pun intended) on the boat. Adrian told us that we worked very well as a team. I certainly feel that the team is stronger following yesterday’s activities, and many thanks for your patience during the lead up to the day!"

Overview:
Conferences can be long and exhausting affairs. If you want to energise delegates or break the ice amongst an unfamiliar group, drumming will blow away the cobwebs and fill everyone with energy and enthusiasm.

Format:
Utilising familiar items like bin bags, carrier bags and squeaky toys, you can hammer out some simple rhythms which will bring a smile to everyone's faces.

Activities:
Please choose one from the following activities:

The Bag Lady Workout
Equipped with only black bin liners your group will play a simple bass pulse. In front is the ‘Reggae line' of carrier bags, easily undertaking their rhythm with a flick of the wrist. Once the rhythms are going, each section plays in turn creating a spellbinding sound and an amazing visual effect.

Toy Orchestra
Play squeaky toys, whistles, animal boxes, whirly tubes, anything you like that makes a sound! Transport yourself back to when you were a child, when you were discovering sounds and music for the first time, but this time there's nobody telling you to keep the noise down!

Boom Tubes
Arm yourself with boomwhackers- individually coloured tubes which make their own uniquely pitched sound- and bash away in this attention grabbing session. Bang them together and on the floor- indestructible music making at its best.
