Welcome to our ADVANCED Paragon Drums Drum Camp! From SEPTEMBER 12-14 2024, join us at our state-of-the-art studio in Dallas, TX for an incredible experience. Our camp is designed to be well-rounded, ensuring that every participant leaves with a wealth of new information and skills.

 

At Paragon Drums, we believe in covering a wide range of concepts to enhance your drumming abilities. Our program includes, but is not limited to, intensive training in hand speed, foot speed, groove and fill development, chops, flow, and comprehending new rhythms. With our expert instructors and immersive learning environment, you'll have the opportunity to dive deep into these topics and discover new techniques that will take your drumming to the next level.

 

We welcome musicians of all levels who are eager to learn and grow. There's no need to prepare anything specific leading up to camp; simply put your sticks in your hands and get ready to join other like-minded musicians in a supportive and collaborative setting.

 

If you have any questions or would like more information about the camp, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at paragondrums1@gmail.com - we are here to help!

*We reserve the right to deny anyone a spot at our camps*

**All students travel and participate in our camps at their own risk.

 

HOW DO I FIGURE OUT WHETHER I SHOULD SIGN UP FOR AN INTERMEDIATE OR ADVANCED CAMP:

Don't lose sleep over camp selection. If you're not a beginner (less than 1 year of drumming), then either camp will result in leaving with more than enough drum knowledge. We consider Intermediate to be about 4+ years of drumming. We consider Advanced to be about 6+ years drumming, with some knowledge of rudiments/patterns. Camp curricula is similar between camps, with the exception that the Advanced Camp will move a bit faster. Want more reps during camp to absorb the information more effectively? Choose Intermediate. Want to move quickly and gain as much information as possible to take home with you? Go Advanced. Both camps will include Q&A time to address individual needs.

WHAT IS THE PRICE OF DRUM CAMP:
$899.00 
Camp fees do NOT include lodging, travel, or food.
$400.00 of your $899.00 payment is a non-refundable/non-transferable deposit. Want to buy now and pay later? Feel free to use Afterpay (a flexible payment plan option with no hidden fees or gimmicks) at check-out. 

WHERE IS THE DRUM CAMP LOCATED:

Drum Camp is hosted at our studio in Garland, TX, which is about 30-40 minutes from DFW & Love Field airports. Exact address will be sent out via email once you reserve your spot.

ARRIVAL DATE:

Since class begins on Thursday morning for each camp, we recommend getting situated at your hotel the day before (Wednesday).

DEPARTURE DATE:

There are no classes on Sunday, so you may leave whenever you like on that day.

WHERE DO STUDENTS LODGE WHILE AT CAMP:

We highly recommend booking your hotel stay at the Holiday Inn Express located at 11331 W. Kingsley Rd. Dallas, TX 75238 (phone number is 214-340-0003), which is less than 2 miles and a short drive to the Paragon Drums studio. 

 

WHAT AIRPORT IS BEST TO USE WHEN FLYING INTO CAMP:

Either Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) or Love Field Airport (DAL). Both are a similar distance (30-40 minutes) from the Paragon Drums studio.

RENTAL CAR/TRANSPORTATION BEFORE/DURING/AFTER CAMP:

A rental car purchase is not necessary, unless the student feels that they need/want one. You will need to provide your own transportation to and from the airport (Wednesday and Sunday), to and from the studio each day (Thursday-Saturday), and to lunch sites that are not within walking distance. However, when we decide not to walk to a local restaurant for lunch, we will take our own cars and can assist with transportation for as many students as possible. 

HOW LONG IS EACH CAMP:

Each camp is 3 full days of classes. The camp runs Thursday through Saturday. Students should arrive on Wednesday and depart on Sunday.

WHAT DOES EACH DAY AT CAMP LOOK LIKE:

Each day begins around 10am CST and ends around 6pm, with a lunch break from 12-1:30pm and a 30 minute snack/chill break from 3:30-4pm. Dinner with Clay, Cam, and all students at our studio after the last day of camp on Saturday (paid for by us).

FOOD DURING CAMP:

For those who opt to stay at the Holiday Inn we recommended, there should be free breakfast provided each morning. For lunches on Thursday and Friday, we will generally do BBQ and Mexican food, which are both within walking distance from the studio. For lunch on Saturday, we will travel about 5 minutes down Jupiter Rd., where there are a handful of Vietnamese options right next to one another. Each meal is $15-$25, so please plan accordingly. The group will go out to lunches together, but is not mandatory. Dinner together on Saturday is also not mandatory, but is recommended, as it will be the last time together during camp.

HOW MANY STUDENTS WILL BE PRESENT AT EACH CAMP:

The limit is 12 students per camp.

​​

AGE REQUIREMENT:

Currently 16+. We have had a broad range of ages at each camp. If you are under the age of 18, you are required to have your legal guardian travel with you and stay at the hotel with you.
