Drum Clinics?

[Soulset]

Okay so, yesterday i went to my first drum clinic, and it was reaaly nice. I learned a lot of new things, saw Jeff Moore(man that guys crazy!) and some other very inspiring people. MY qeustion is though, how do you guys usually find out when clinics are coming around your city? Is there a website? Do i have to just check ticketmaster everyday? A newsletter? Because i really want to start goign to more of these, and i have no idea when they are =( !

For instance, i learned yesterday that there was a JoJo Mayer clinic last week or so! I would have loved to see him! ><

So, and help guys? any sites? Thanks in advanced!

Check out the clinic pages on the manufacturer's websites. For example:

Some artists such as Pat Petrillo and John Favicchia post their clinic dates on the Drummerworld forum.

Check out festivals such as the Modern Drummer Festival and PASIC, the Percussive Arts Society International Convention.
