Thanks to Johnny Rabb, Chris Coleman, Glen Sobel, Jason Bittner, and Teddy Campbell for coming out and giving us a great show. Thanks to their sponsor companies: DW, Evans, Mapex, Meinl, Pro-Mark, Regal Tip, Remo, Roland, SABIAN, Sonor, Tama, Yamaha, Vic Firth, and Zildjian. And most of all, thank you to all of you who came out and supported these artists and Columbus Percussion. Without you, we would not be able to have great events such as this.

Those of you who get our e-mail newsletter have already seen this news, but we're putting it up on the website as well. Replacing Joe Morello will be tour and studio drummer Glen Sobel. Glen has recorded and filled in on tours for Alice Cooper, Kottonmouth Kings, Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, and others. Check him out on YouTube to get a preview of what you'll see Sunday.
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.
