After over a decade of selling out all over Europe, DRUM CAMP is coming to UK audiences at LCCM London’s Music Box Venue, the absolute ideal location.

The weekend Drum Camp will attract drum enthusiasts of all ages* and aspiring drummers from all over the UK and abroad. Both days will be advertised as “20 applicants only” to assure the attendees that they’ll receive enough personal attention on their progress.
