Sidewalk Sale July 10
Don't forget the Columbus Percussion annual Sidewalk Sale (Saturday, July 10). This event is a great way for you to buy or sell used stuff. For buyers, there will be sellers lined up out in front of the store for you to look through and buy gear. For sellers, this is an opportunity for you to get some money out of your drums you may no longer use. Either way, stop by around lunchtime to pick up some free hot dogs off the grill. Sellers: contact us ahead of time to reserve a spot to sell your goods. Buyers: just show up.

Drum Daze 2010: Joe Morello Cancellation
Sadly, we have just received word that Joe Morello will be unable to attend this year's Drum Daze (in addition to some other events he had scheduled). This is the second straight year we've tried to have the jazz great, but health has unfortunately sidelined him both times. We wish Joe the best and as we search for a replacement, post in the comments who you'd like to see instead.
