Drum Camp with Jordan Hanson from DrumVictoria, June 12 - 14 !!

It's confirmed! Jordan Hanson and his team from DrumVictoria are coming back to the Valley June 12 - 14 for another exciting 3 days of rhythm-making.

Please check out the link below and then register for the classes you're interested in. Pre-registration and pre-payment are necessary to reserve your spot (the pay at the door option is actually not an option!). You can use Jordan's paypal method or register through me by contacting me directly! (drumdeva@gmail.com)

There are early bird pricing deals and deals when you take 2 or 3 days as opposed to individual workshops -- great stuff, you won't want to miss this!

Those of you who attended last year's event can attest to the fun had in Burundi Beats and Balafon; this year there is a Thumb Piano/Kalimba and a Hip Hop class added!

Please feel free to contact me FMI.

And remember: more workshops coming up this summer -- Marla Leigh's Frame Drumming Weekend in July and Kadijah Photiades Drumming the Sacred Feminine in August!
