Everything You Need to Know about
Drum Fantasy Camp! Brief History Drum Fantasy Camp is the world's leading drum camp experience.  DFC is owned and managed by
Steven Orkin of Orkin Marketing and Management. Steven manages marketing for iconic drummers Dave
Weckl and Steve Smith, plus musicians Mike Stern, Ekalavya, and
many
more. The first Drum Fantasy Camp ran in South Orange, NJ, in 2007 and moved to Cleveland from 2008-2014. The camp took place in Chicago from 2015-2019. In February, 2013, an exciting and successful camp also ran in Ankara, Turkey. In 2019, Access Cuba with Dave Weckl offered a week-long music and cultural experience in Havana. What Happens at Drum Fantasy Camp? Drum Fantasy Camp is a serious learning experience for drummers of all ages 
and playing levels. Attendees spend a total of six hours with each drumming instructor in a class of approximately 15. Classes are a combination of lecturing and playing. You leave the camp inspired and filled with new ideas. Mark Guiliana's class will feature members of the band. They will support him while teaching and you will get to apply Mark's concepts while playing with them! In the evenings, you attend jams with our incredible band! You'll sit in for a tune, and you'll get to hang and watch your fellow attendees (and instructors) sit in! The band features bassist Hagar Ben Ari (The Late Late Show with James Corden), keyboardist Stu Mindeman (Kuirt Elling/Dave Weckl), singer Chrissi Poland (Moby/Michael Bolton), and guitarist Vinny Valentino (George Benson/Vital Information). We also open with an incredible concert featuring all four drumming instructors performing with our band (and some special guests)! The basic schedule is below. Optional Classes! "Introduction to Recording and Production" (August 10: 9am-1pm OR 2pm - 6pm at Fever Studio - $249 fee) Legendary recording/live sound engineer Dennis Moody will teach this four hour course on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. Limited to just 20 attendees, this hands-on course will get you familiar with micing drums, checking phase, getting sounds, and beginning the recording process for drums. The class will take place at Fever Recording Studio in North Hollywood! "Parent & Student Career Course" No Cost - DFC Full-Camp and Two-Day Attendees Only - Date TBA Open to full-camp and two-day attendees only (and their parents), Musicians Institute Drum Chair Stewart Jean will give you a tour of the school and talk about strategies for a career in music. He will answer all of your questions! Time and date TBA. Who Attends? Drummers of all ages, musical backgrounds, and playing levels attend. In 2019, male and female drummers from 15 countries and all over the United States attended. The age range was from 10 to 70! Some of our attendees are on a path to music school. Others have desk jobs or are gigging drummers in their hometowns. And...some are simply looking for the inspiration to pick up the sticks after a long hiatus. All are welcome! We group our attendees based on their playing levels. There is a great sense of camaraderie at Drum Fantasy Camp. Attendees tend to become good friends - sharing information, cheering each other on at the "Jam Nights," and staying in touch after the experience. The camp feels like a family with many attendees returning year-after-year.
