That’s another game altogether. It's less about just hitting the drum, more about connecting people, building energy, and holding space where everyone feels seen. When we say 'Come. Drum. Be One.', we mean it. ### What Happens in Training - My flagship is the Find Your Inner Rhythm program. It’s a week-long, full-on, certified course. - You get all the nuts and bolts for running drum circles yourself. - We cover how rhythm can break barriers with all sorts of groups - schools, offices, communities. - You’ll practice actual drum circle leadership skills, right there with real groups, not just classmates. - Not a pro drummer? Doesn’t matter. I’ve trained plenty who never touched a djembe before. Listening and connecting matter more than speed or chops. ### Who Shows Up Teachers, therapists, HR folks, artists, and people who just want more rhythm in life - I’ve seen all types here. If you want to use rhythm to create joy or community, you’ll fit in. Intent beats experience. ### Beyond Basics After FYIR, there’s Rhythm 2 Recovery (for those into music therapy facilitator training) and advanced retreats for deeper dives. The learning never really stops. For me, it’s about chasing that ‘Wassa Wassa!’ vibe in every session. If you’re ready to step up and lead, let’s see what rhythm can do for you. ## Highlights Browse through Taal Inc's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/taal-inc/rhythm-facilitator-training-certification/featured) - ![Imagine leading a group like this, feeling the collective energy as everyone connects through a shared beat.

Our roots go deep, thanks to Grandmaster Mamady Keïta’s blessings. The djembe’s not just an instrument, it’s got spirit, history, and a knack for breaking barriers. We see kids, elders, total strangers, all grooving together. Making new drums feels like Diwali फटाका (firecracker) for us. Taal Inc. is a tribe, not just a company. Wassa Wassa! Happy Happy! ### My work - **All-In Drum Experiences**: We run corporate drum circles, West African djembe workshops, rhythm ensembles, junk percussion, wellness sessions, and facilitator training. - **Community Drum Circles**: No skills needed, just show up. We supply drums. Age, background, doesn’t matter. Come find your sewa (joy) and connect. - **Traditional Djembe Classes**: Learn djembe the West African way, straight from Mamady Keïta’s curriculum. Classes in Baner and Kalyani Nagar for all. - **Event Drumming**: Birthdays, weddings, office events – we bring the drums and energy. No circle? We’ll improvise, guests will remember it. - **Rhythm Facilitator Training**: Our 'Find Your Inner Rhythm' course teaches you how to use rhythm for real change, not just for show. ## More services from Taal Inc - [Rhythm & Arts-based Wellness Programs](https://mytribe.in/taal-inc/rhythm-arts-based-wellness-programs) · ₹900-2,500 per person (estimate) - [Djembe Drum Making & Maintenance](https://mytribe.in/taal-inc/djembe-drum-making-maintenance) · ₹3.8-27K per drum (estimate) - [Djembe Classes & Workshops](https://mytribe.in/taal-inc/djembe-classes-workshops) · ₹2,100-4,400 per student per month (estimate) - [Group Drumming & Rhythm Events](https://mytribe.in/taal-inc/group-drumming-rhythm-events) · ₹22-55K per session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Taal Inc on mytribe - [Dog Walking & Adventure Hikes by Waggology by Vedika](https://mytribe.in/waggology/dog-walking-adventure-hikes) · ₹1,200-1,800 per session (estimate) · Waggology by Vedika The Dog Trainer - [Music Production by DJ Ashraf](https://mytribe.in/djashraf_/music-production) · ₹4.5-16K per track (estimate) · Goa - [Wedding & Event Gifting by Lush & Rapt](https://mytribe.in/lush_and_rapt/wedding-event-gifting) · ₹350-3,200 per item (estimate) · Pune - [Event Planning & Decoration by Cherry Blossoms](https://mytribe.in/cherryblossomsstore__/event-planning-decoration) · ₹7.5-65K per event (estimate) · National Capital Region ## Book To book Taal Inc, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Rhythm%20Facilitator%20Training%20%26%20Certification%20by%20Taal%20Inc.)
