Welcome to Bottom Line Drumming!
BottomLine Drumming (BLD) offers unique, experiential rhythm-based programs to corporations, associations, organizations and communities, for the purposes of team building, staff development, creativity, stress reduction and wellness.
We understand the power of rhythm as an agent of change. As human beings, we are enveloped in the myriad rhythms of nature: for example; our own breath and heartbeat, seasonal cycles, ocean currents, and cosmic planetary movements; universal and persistent rhythms that form the foundation of our life. Therefore, the drum is the perfect instrument for our purposes.
At BLD, we appreciate that drumming requires no previous experience. and recognize how the drum connects us with others and our own self. The rhythmic activities that we use support cooperation, self expression, empowerment and listening skills, while providing a unique and fun way for participants to interact.
Guided by a skilled BLD facilitator, individuals are naturally inclined to work as a team, thereby creating a highly functional rhythm community.
