The Deal: Dixon Drums is hosting Beats for Eats: Rock Out for a Good Cause, a series of food drives taking place in April 2009 at select independent music retailers to benefit local food banks and city shelters throughout Southern California.

The event will showcase a Dixon drum set interfaced with Playstation 3′s popular video game, Rock Band — allowing attendees to test drive an actual drum set while playing along with the video game. Free food, refreshments, valuable door prizes and professional drumming tips and tricks will be provided, courtesy of the pros at Dixon Drums. Attendees are encouraged to bring canned or non-perishable foods to be donated to selected city shelters.
