Drum Fantasy Camp 2019 was a year of "firsts" and lasts. We welcomed some amazing first-time instructors, but it was our last camp in Chicago.
New to the DFC roster were three of the industry's best drummers: Dennis Chambers, Chad Wackerman, and Gergo Borlai. On bass, Janek Gwizdala made his first appearance at DFC!
Returning to DFC for the tenth time was Steve Smith! Vocalist Chrissi Poland, keyboard player Stu Mindeman, and guitar player Vinny Valentino returned as part of our all-star band!
The camp kicked off with explosive opening concert at Martyrs' music club! Chad Wackerman and Gergo Borlai each played a set with the band. The next four days were filled with all-day classes and nightly jams. Attendees got up to play at those jams. It was a lot of fun!
The last night of the camp featured a closing concert back at Martyrs'. Dennis Chambers took the first set and Steve Smith took the second. The duet at the end was epic!
