LA Camco set hard at work. Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 455 Threads: 77

The photo is a little dark but here is my 22, 13, 16 LA Camco set. Its a mahogany finish with plenty of battle scars to prove its been around the block a few times. I'd love to know the history and where this set has been...

I've replaced the floor tom leg mounts with the new repro Gretsch mounts so I don't have any problems with stripping out the threads of my vintage mounts. They work great and actually have same hole spacing. In the future I will do the same with any of my vintage sets that I use out on the road.

Besides that, the set is holding up just fine. This is the second time I've had this one out. The first run was 6 weeks and this one is a short 3 week run.

Its funny how many people have never heard of Camco. They all think round lugs= DW set!

Oh, and the snare is a Ludwig 1970's 6.5" Black Beauty.

Heh, drums are meant to be played and battle scares add character. Btw, the kit looks great. Looks like a fun place to play, I'm jealous.

It's sooo good to see a L.A. Camco kit still out there on active duty.

I wouldn't change one bit of that set-up. Very nice, comfortable work station there.
