Summer Drum Camp

The We Got The Beat Summer Camp exploded onto the scene in June, 2000. The program includes 5 days Improvisation, Ethnic Drumming, Drum Set Sessions and fun, fun, FUN!

Hosted at Fresno Pacific University, during the 5 daily sessions, students learn how to make music using various percussion instruments such as congas, bongos, drum sets, marimbas, vibraphones, xylophones, rain sticks, tambourines, and many, many more. Students learn percussion rhythms with fun phrases, like “Banana Underwear.” First you say it, then you play it! They learn how to play melodies and harmonies, and how to play within a large group.

At the end of the week, the kids perform for family and friends, showcasing the skills they have acquired in just one week. You’ll be amazed at what you hear!!! No experience is necessary to attend. This camp will enhance any previous music training and provide a strong foundation for future music learning. Come and join the fun – we promise you will wish the week would never end. 

Inspired campers can register for the year-round group, We Got The Beat Youth Percussion Band. WGTB performs regularly during the school year, for local venues, schools, fairs, carnivals, multi-cultural days, university Days of Percussion, and other special events throughout the state of California.
