click on "clinicians" above for this year's clinic and Master Class lineup! MC Gregg Potter will be presenting: Jane Boxall, Zoro, Will Calhoun, Donny Osborne, Bermuda Schwartz and Danny Seraphine!

Special appearance: W.S. "Fluke" Holland!

Fluke was not only the drummer for Johnny Cash for over 40 years, but was the only drummer Cash ever had! Fluke was the first drummer to use a full set on stage at the Grand Old Opry, and part of the Sun Records legacy. Don't miss this opportunity to meet a living legend!

The world's largest and longest-running vintage/custom drum event is in a brand new building this year, with over twice the square footage of prior years- over 30,000 square feet! The show will not only look better, it will sound better! We're adding a Clearsonic Isopac isolation room for cymbal testing and an Auralex HoverDeck to the clinic drum stage.
