Vic’s Drum Shop, America’s largest independent drum retailer, will host the Drum Fantasy Camp at its North Loomis Street location in the Music Garage, Chicago. The camp will be held from Friday, August 7 through Tuesday, August 11 and will feature instruction from some of the most innovative and respected drummers in the music business, including Steve Smith, Jojo Mayer, Mike Mangini, Benny Greb, and Dave Weckl.

“Drum Fantasy Camp’s five world-class instructors are among the greatest drummers on the planet, and I know that the campers will be thrilled to meet them, learn from them, and jam with them,” says Victor Salazar of Vic’s Drum Shop. “I’m also looking forward to introducing Vic’s Drum Shop to folks who’ve never had the opportunity to visit us.”
