We all talk about how special collaboration is. We see the amazing results everyday all around us when amazing talents create something bigger than they could have single-handedly. But did you know that amazing collaboration has an incredible rhythm? Take the Swiss Top Secret Drum Corps. Visually, they are pretty stunning with their choreographed stick tosses, and even story line presentations. But it’s the snare drums that get me every time when they play off of one another. This is the sign of the purity that comes from an immersion into the collaboration process. And it brings me back to my days when I was part of the drill team in high school. The percussion squad was simply pure magic for me then, and it hasn’t changed all that much years later.
When you’re looking for a sign that your collaboration efforts are going well, simply remember what these guys sound like. Passion for what drives you will have a distinct sound all of its own. It’s the sound of an army in full march, but this army is all about creative destruction. And they are taking no prisoners as they create that up-welling of inspiration that bubbles over at the crescendo.
