Leave your everyday life behind you and feel the power of rhythm in beautiful surroundings!
The Drummers Camp Sardinia takes place in the southwest of Sardinia, in the province of Carbonia-Iglesias. The first edition took place in 2012, and ever since, the Drummers Camp Sardinia has become a highly regarded event. The Drummers Camp Sardinia is aimed at anyone interested in rhythm – regardless of age or at which level he or she plays. The main goal is to inspire the participants about drums and percussion. We don’t want any gaps between professionals and beginners, young or old, female or male. We are one big family with the same interests. The participants shall learn new skills or further develop things they have learned.

Courses
After a hearty breakfast, workshops on drums, percussion, ergonomics and fitness begin. These usually last from 9:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (including breaks) and are held in two groups at the same time. The number of participants is limited to 25 and ensures that everyone can actively play their own instrument.
Note: People who don't play drums can now only visit the percussion part. No previous knowledge is required for this.
accomodation
The unique and exclusive accommodation for the participants is located where the sky, the mountains and the ocean go hand in hand. The unbelievable view of the ocean never fails to leave almost every participant speechless upon arrival. In order to meet practically every conceivable need, we offer different room categories. We make everything possible!
subjects
SCHLAGZEUG: Tom Beck & Peter Haas To be able to play the drumset better - no matter at which level - starts among other things with reflecting on movement sequences, technical details and questioning things that you have just "always" done in a certain way. The following contents will play a role in this year's camp. - Second Line Drumming* - Sound playing technique of hands and feet - Application in a musical context (with playalongs and loops) - Improving rhythmic security on the instrument: Timing/Mikrotime (exercises with click) - Expanding the musical and stylistic spectrum - Tuning the drums - Inear Monitoring - Stage and studio technique - Hybrid Drumming Second Line Drumming: New Orleans is the birthplace of the drum set and Second Line Drumming The combination of tradition and modernity in drumming. Second Line Drumming combines marching drum rudiments with clave rhythms, funk and jazz grooves.
DRUMS: Tom Beck Turning your passion into a career is a privilege and passing on knowledge is the logical consequence! Workshops: • Coming soon
PERCUSSION: Prof. Jose J. Cortijo Percussion is an art form that appeals to the senses, arouses emotions and brings people together. My philosophy is based on three fundamental principles. Expression: for me, this is the core of percussion. Every beat, every note and every rhythm pattern should tell a story and evoke feelings. Technique: is another important aspect. To effectively communicate a message, a solid technical foundation is essential. Innovation is the third cornerstone. The world of percussion is constantly evolving and it is important to explore new sounds, techniques and styles. Experimentation and the use of different instruments and playing techniques will open up new creative musical possibilities. Workshops: - Coming soon
ERGONOMICS: Eveline Mayer The qualified movement teacher and back trainer charmingly keeps the participants on their toes for a week. This includes the morning “warm up” by the pool, as well as the workshops on ergonomics. Body tension and posture have a positive effect on expression and performance when playing instruments.
bonus
After the intense workshops, we then take the protagonists to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island where you can swim, surf, go stand-up paddling or even just relax at the beach lounge while listening to some great music and sipping a cool drink.
