This interactive drumming team building session was
broadcast live to all Merck branches around the world
for their 350th Birthday celebration.
We had success with the rehearsals earlier in the morning
- and now the moment was almost upon us.
A live interactive drumming performance broadcast around
the world - a drumming session with the entire staff
of Merck Johannesburg.
There were two soundtracks that had been created for
the event - but the drum parts were left out - our job
was to create the rhythms to fit with the music, and
then divide it into two parts so that the group could
be divided into two and play the entire musical piece
together.
We had spent part of the morning rehearsing, as well
as moving a few things around due to the sudden onset
of rain.
Here we are waiting for event to begin - there was a
slight delay - so we decided to get everyone warmed
up and ready to go, it also helped to calm the nerves
before the final performance.
During the live drumming broadcast, there was a slight
hiccup when the music was played in the wrong order,
however our facilitators immediately realised what had
happened, and facilitated the correct rhythms for the
music.
