NASYR DRUM CAMP
Blessed with all the gifts he was given throughout his career, Nasyr decided to share his knowledge by creating a drum camp in the middle of nature. In 2008 Nasyrium Drum Camp became a reality that captured the attention of Canadian Cinema & Television Genie Producer John Walker who made a documentary about Nasyr’s Camp entitled “ A
Drummers
Dream
”.
The
documentary
went
on
to
win
many
prestigious
awards
over
the
years,
but
it
wasn’t
until
it
aired
on
NETFLIX
that
inspired
Nasyr
to
do
another
drum
camp.
NASYR
DRUM
CAMP
2017
is
set
to
take
place
in
June or July 2017. You can learn more about Nasyr’s Drum Camp by visiting his website at
