Dixon Drums hosts Beats for Eats: KAMAN.(FOREFRONT)

DIXON DRUMS recently held Beats for Eats: Rock Out for a Good Cause, a series of food drives held at select retailers in April to benefit local food banks and shelters throughout Southern California. The events showcased a Dixon Demon drum set interfaced with the Rock Band video game, allowing attendees to test drive an actual drum set while playing along with the game. Guests were treated to free food and refreshments, professional drumming tips and tricks, and door prizes, courtesy of the pros at Dixon Drums. Attendees were encouraged to bring canned or non-perishable foods to be donated to selected city shelters.

"Dixon strives to create innovative initiatives to support our network of independent dealers," said Dixon Drums product manager Jim Stanek.

"Beats for Eats gives us the opportunity to bring a fun event to our valued dealers-all while giving back to their community. Dozens of drummers of all ages and skill levels, along with some die-hard Rock Band fans, joined us for the fun and supported a great cause." Recent Beats for Eats events in California were held at Singer Music (La Puente) in support of The Gary Center, Santa Monica Music Center (Santa Monica) in support of The Ocean Park Community Center, and Tom's Music (Victorville) in support of High Desert Homeless Services.
