Gergo Borlai (Al DiMeola/Scott Kinsey), Chris Coleman (Chaka Kahn/Beck), Mike Mangini (Dream Theater/Steve Vai) and Simon Phillips (Jeff Beck/Toto/The Who) will each play a set with our all-star band!

The four drummers will also play together - paying tribute to two friends of Drum Fantasy Camp: Aaron Spears and Dom Famularo.

This rare collection of incredible musicians will appeal to serious music enthusiasts - not just drummers! It's an all-ages show that is also perfect for young music enthusiasts.
