The drum camp spans four days, June 27-30, at LAMA College for Music Professionals in Pasadena, a suburb of Los Angeles, and includes clinics, concerts, lectures, performance ensembles, private lessons, as well as a factory tour of DW Drums and a taping at DrumChannel.com studios in Oxnard, California.

Mike Packer, vice president and drum instructor at LAMA, says:

Drummer's Reality Camp is a wonderful opportunity for drummers of all ages and skill levels to interact with and learn from the best drummers of our time. The intimate environment of LAMA allows campers to make new friends and acquaintances from the drumming world and get up close and personal with some of the most respected names in drumming."

Participating drummers include Terry Bozzio (Missing Persons, Frank Zappa), Dave Elitch (The Mars Volta), Peter Erskine (Steely Dan, Weather Report; USC Thornton School of Music), Alex Acuña (Paul McCartney, Chick Corea) and Joseph "Ziggy" Modeliste (The Meters, Keith Richards).

Drum recording specialist Uli Frost, as well as LAMA's Drum Department Co-Chairs Ralph Humphrey and Joe Porcaro, rock drums instructor Dave Beyer and jazz drums instructor Tony Inzalaco round out this year’s lineup.

The camp is $699; campers can access a 10% off promo code by visiting the school's Facebook page.
