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
