Drumming Experience · Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv
Drumming Experience runs drumming team building workshops for teams, managers and companies in Tel Aviv, in Hebrew or English, and has been doing so since 2017. Every participant plays their own full drum set, in an acoustic drumming venue with 33 drum sets in Ramat Aviv, north Tel Aviv, with a meeting room next door and parking nearby. No musical experience needed. Up to 33 participants, and small groups are welcome too. It's the only venue of its kind in Israel.
In a drum circle, people play darbukas, djembes or body percussion, usually in whatever space is available. Here, everyone sits at a full drum set, with drums and cymbals, in a venue built for drumming. It feels like a band playing together, not a circle.

Coffee from a professional espresso machine, tea, cookies and cold drinks.
The venue is acoustically treated, and every drum set is dampened.
It usually starts with a few awkward laughs. Very quickly the rhythm takes over.
The facilitator builds a groove with the group: loud and soft, sudden stops, tempo changes in real time.
The group splits up, and each part plays a different role. Not everyone does the same thing, and everyone depends on each other, just like at work.
This is the moment your team becomes a band.
The facilitator ties together the key messages and connects what happened on the drums to how the team works, in plain language.
Our corporate drumming workshops suit international teams, visiting groups, offsites, and Israeli teams who prefer English. Nobody watches from the side, nobody needs to be fit, and there are no winners or losers. Choose the one that fits your team:
"Listening Gym" (2 hours): our core workshop, built around listening, communication and teamwork. Listening is a muscle, and a muscle needs training.
"Rhythm of Resilience" (2 hours): for times of change, pressure and uncertainty. Through shifting dynamics and different musical styles, the team practices staying together when the rhythm changes.
"Rhythm of Trust" (up to 3 hours): the premium experience. Suits any team, not only managers.
"Drumming Fun" (1 hour): a short, light session of playing together, without a workplace theme.
Each workshop starts with a short welcome reception.
A full team building day: build the day around a workshop, with a hospitality package and a meeting in the room next door. Great for a team of any size, in any season.
Managers' workshop, "Rhythm of Trust" (up to 3 hours): trust, listening, and knowing when to lead and when to make room for others. Every musical moment connects to the work of the management team. Starts with a welcome reception with coffee and sweet and savory pastries.
A Jewish drumming workshop in Tel Aviv that connects the group to Jewish music and tradition. Along the way, participants explore different types of Jewish music, the link between the tradition and its music, and a bit of its history, then play it together on full drum sets. A moving, energetic way to connect a group to its roots. For groups from abroad and Jewish delegations.
An Israeli rock music workshop: a journey through Israeli rock and pop, from the founding of the state to today, told through drumming. Participants get to know the influences, genres and key songwriters that shaped Israeli music, and feel them through their hands, on full drum sets. High energy, a lot of rock and roll, and a fun way into Israeli culture. For groups from abroad and Jewish delegations.
33 full drum sets in an acoustic drumming venue, built for a large group, and made especially for us. Every participant gets noise-blocking headphones, so nobody leaves with sore ears.
Meeting and hospitality room next door, for up to 35 people, with a screen for presentations, a whiteboard and Wi-Fi. The coffee station is included.
Welcome reception at every session: coffee from a professional espresso machine, tea, cookies and cold drinks.

Drumming Experience was founded by Shai Pasternak in 2017. Shai started drumming as a child, studied at the Rimon School of Music, then at Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship. Back in Israel, he played in studios and on stage in pop, rock, jazz and Latin music, and worked as a music producer. In 2005 he opened his own drum school in Tel Aviv, and he wrote a drum method book series in Hebrew. He is also a certified personal coach from Bar-Ilan University, with more than twenty years of teaching behind him.
