An Invite-Only Drum Camp for Drummers Ready to Break Through Their Plateau So They Can Finally Play With Confidence.
Â
Hosted by Dimitri Fantini
July 9–12, 2026 · Red Bridge Studios, Historic Savage Mill, Maryland
You already have enough exercises, videos, and concepts to work on for the rest of your life.
This is about improving your drumming rapidly by building the right foundation.
It's four days of hands-on work where every session is designed around your specific barriers, your technique, your goals.
You’ll get direct feedback in a distraction-free environment that develops your drummer’s brain - so you carry creativity into every session with tighter time, better feel, and the confidence to perform.
Â
Want to eliminate bad habits, build real control, and play better than you ever have - all in my favorite studio in the world?
Red Bridge Studios is where I record albums, film drum videos and work with students… where the Drum Hub method comes to life.
Some of my students' biggest breakthroughs have happened in this room - the kind that change how they play forever.
That’s why I’m so excited to share this special place with you for the very first Drum Hub Camp.
We get to play drums in the same room together.Â
You’ll be hanging out side by side with your Drum Hub friends, getting real-time feedback from me to accelerate your progress, and record your very own song in a professional recording studio.Â
This is for you if…
✔️ You want to be a more confident drummer
✔️ You want hands-on feedback and guidance from me
✔️ Your practice has been scattered and you need a clear roadmap
✔️ You want immediate feedback you can feel in your hands
✔️ You're ready to break through the plateau you've been stuck on
Â
We'll gather for an optional welcome dinner after you arrive… we’ll get to know each other and set the stage for the next few days of focused drumming.
Each morning starts with group technique sessions designed to address the fundamentals that most drummers get wrong.
You will:
• eliminate tension and bad habits
•  build the foundation most drummers skip
•  make every practice session count towards real improvement
•  Play faster and cleaner with less effort
Each masterclass is structured, but flexible. The class is shaped around the people in the room and the specific barriers you're actually facing.
You’ll leave the camp with:
•  clear structure for your practice when you get home
•  great technique for the rest of your life
•  real confidence to play what you hear in your head
The goal of the masterclasses is to help you get clarity on your drumming so you stop wasting time on things that don't matter and start making real progress.
After lunch, we dive into drum set work, coordination building, and recording sessions in a world-class studio, all perfectly adapted to your level.
You'll record yourself in the same professional studio where I record albums and host the Drum Hub, so you can hear what you actually sound like, learn to sound more professional, and take those recordings home.
Optional group dinners. No pressure. Just space to connect with other drummers, talk through what clicked, or decompress.
The classes will be shaped by who's in the room, but these are the breakthroughs that happen most often:
Â
 ✔️ Building the foundation to play drums without limitations
✔️ Finding and Fixing your bad habits before they become permanent
✔️ Clarifying your practice so you know exactly what to work on when you get home
✔️ Recording yourself in a professional studio so you can hear what you actually sound like
✔️ Playing with confidence because you finally know you're doing it right
This camp is for drummers who:
✔️ Want to seriously improve their drumming
✔️ Value hands-on correction over theory
✔️ Want a clear path forward to their drumming goals
This is not for drummers looking for shortcuts. No matter your skill level, this camp is about going deep and finding the great drummer already inside you.
Dimitri Fantini has spent over 20 years playing, recording, and teaching drums professionally.
He's helped hundreds of in-person students and over 18,000 online students break through plateaus, eliminate bad habits, and build confidence in their playing.
His teaching philosophy centers on one principle: practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. That's why his Total Drummer System focuses on depth over breadth - mastering fundamentals so deeply they become effortless.
Dimitri has taught students who've gone on to earn full scholarships to Berklee College of Music, tour professionally, and play with confidence they never thought possible.
The Drum Hub Camp reflects how Dimitri learned himself: hands-on recording studio experience, world class instruction, and a focus on drumming fundamentals.

Inner Circle Day
This day will be personalized to best fit Inner Circle attendees. Will include private 1-1 lessons with Dimitri and small group sessions.
This is the first camp I've ever created specifically for the Drum Hub family.
If the idea of four days focused entirely on your drumming, with direct access to me and a group of passionate drummers appeals to you, I’d love to have you join us.

P.S. At the last camp I taught, Brooke attended and made major breakthroughs in confidence and technique. Soon after, she earned a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music. That's what's possible when you stop guessing and follow a clear path for your drumming.
