(CBS) – They march to their very own beat: drummers who love their instrument so much, they marched from across the globe to right here in Chicago for a special camp.

CBS 2's Vince Gerasole reports.

More than 100 percussionists from around the world have come to Vic's Drum Shop in West Town for "Drum Fantasy Camp."

"I'd have to say it's the primal animal we all have inside of us," drummer Antonio Sanchez says.
