Description
This camp will combine the forces of two of the most celebrated drummers & educators in the industry.
Get up close and learn from Peter Erskine himself, a drumming icon whose career spans over five decades in jazz, fusion, and beyond. Renowned for his exceptional groove, musical sensitivity, and technical mastery, Peter has played on over 700 albums and film scores, leaving an indelible mark on modern drumming. As a two-time Grammy Award winner and a Modern Drummer Hall of Fame inductee, his influence extends across generations.Â
Peter has worked with legendary artists such as Weather Report, Steps Ahead, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Pat Metheny, and Diana Krall. He has also put his mark on countless soundtracks, including *Austin Powers*, and works regularly with John Williams. Beyond performance, he is a dedicated educator, Professor of Drumset Studies at USC Thornton School of Music, and the author of several acclaimed drumming books. Â
Peter is a true master of his craft, and we are beyond honored to have him at this year’s Drum Camp. This is an experience you don’t want to miss! Â
Benny Greb’s influence on modern drumming earned him a place among *Batterie Magazine*’s “Top 30 Greatest Drummers of the 21st Century.” He is widely respected for his unique combination of virtuosity, technical mastery, and deep musicality. Known for his exceptional groove, impeccable timing, and rich sound, he has won the *Modern Drummer* Magazine Readers’ Poll multiple times in the Educator and Clinician categories.Â
With *The Language of Drumming*, he developed a groundbreaking system to help drummers expand their rhythmic vocabulary, repertoire, and independence. His follow-up, *The Art and Science of Groove*, is one of the most comprehensive collections of exercises and techniques for mastering timekeeping, subdivision, and flow. His book *Effective Practicing for Musicians* serves as a step-by-step guide for improving on any musical instrument. Â
Beyond his contributions as an educator, Benny is an award-winning bandleader, composer, and author. Recently, he was invited by Cathy Rich to be the special guest drummer for the Buddy Rich Big Band for two consecutive years.Â
