New Berlin, WI (PRWEB) March 31, 2015 -- Music retailer Cascio Interstate Music was presented with two awards in the drum category during the music industry's Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. Cascio received an "Outstanding Dealer Award" from the Zildjian Company based on Zildjian sales and merit, along with an "Outstanding Retailer Award" from Vic Firth Company for Cascio's impressive sales growth achievements in 2014. Though 2014 was a challenging year in the percussion market, Cascio was recognized by these two major drum companies.
