...Your part of the session certainly provided the participants with a unique and deeper perspective on teamwork, creativity, and the role of the individual on success. Plus, it was just darn fun bangin' on drums for a while!

Uplifting, Stress-busting, Smile-making, Groove-finding . . . what more can I say? Jim Donovan's Corporate Drumming program exceeded even our highest expectations. At the outset, it was clear that Jim's deep-seeded love for drumming was going to be infectious. What was a surprise, though, was that he was able to turn a ragtag band of carpenters, timberframers, architects, engineers, and designers into a rock-solid ensemble weaving complex rhythms into a single, powerful groove. When we first booked the drumming workshop, there was a lot of trepidation from the non-musicians in the group, and more than a little hand-wringing from some who questioned the intrinsic value of a drum workshop for a company that designs and builds houses. In the final analysis, though, the hand-drumming appealed to virtually everyone. As a part of our events committee, it was really gratifying to see all that trepidation and hand-wringing dissolve into easy smiles and confident participation

Your program was fun, informative and very relaxing. I enjoyed working with my fellow Piggers in a different way. We actually learned and achieved things without the pressures of everyday business. It helped me focus and clear my mind. I was a little skeptical at first but once we got started I was a believer. I always wanted to play music but never took the time to learn. You made it easy for a novice like me to feel good about what I produced. It was a great feeling. Thank You.

I would recommend this experience to others, especially the focus on listening skills and the analogies that can be drawn into the work experience, listening to your co-workers, playing a supporting role, a partnering role, an oppositional role, a baseline role, a complementary role.

Jim's warm personality combined with his exceptional musical abilities allowed all teachers to create music without the fear of everyone needing to be a percussionist. Many comments were made about the sense of community, inner peace and healing, relaxing and living in the moment, temporarily letting go of concerns, etc. The power of rhythm in the room was amazing as 81 adults were transformed into a feeling of oneness while multi-rhythms were played on various instruments. We are so pleased we chose him and we consider him one of our most successfully received
presenters.

Session with drums was not only a good team-building measure, but it was woven very nicely into a leadership discussion and LIFE values. I especially liked the comments
about multitasking and how successful leaders avoid doing that!
