On March 15 (a Saturday) there is going to be a five day drum out in Lake Perris California (southwest of Palm Springs) on the campground. There is a $6 fee to get into the campground, that is all needed to get in.
Over 100 people are confirmed which from every percussive field you can imagine: there will be congueros, santeros, belly dancers, dounbekeros, yemberos and anything else that drops in.
It starts on a Saturday afternoon and there will be breakout groups each night with separate campfires for people that want to play on a more "coherent" basis. Look for me in the group where you see a guy with playing on a Guataca and also a Quijada de Burro I got for my birthday.
There is something for everybody there, if you need further information and directions, email me at:
