Drum Daze 2011 will take place Sunday, April 17 at the Capitol Theatre in the Riffe Center downtown. For those of you who don't know, Drum Daze is an event where some of the world's greatest drummers come together to give clinics, answer questions, and jam in front of a live audience.

Drum Daze returns this year in spectacular fashion. For those of you who haven't been, Drum Daze is an afternoon of drumming by the world's top drummers (1PM to 6PM). It's held at the Capitol Theatre in the Riffe Center in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Each artist will give a 45-minute clinic (playing and speaking) explaining what he or she does (exactly how much playing and how much speaking is up to the individual artist). Throughout the day, thousands of dollars of drum gear is given away by the sponsor companies (anything from sticks to hardware to cymbals to drum sets), and artists are available afterwards for a giant autograph session. The best part of it all? As long as you pre-order your ticket, it's only $25.00.
