Hi
This is my first post and I'm selling a 1969 Oaklawn Walnut Stain 4 piece set. 8X12, 9X14, 16x16 and 16 x 24 bass drum. I ordered this from the Pro Drum Shop in Hollywood from Bob Yeager that year.
This is the Jim Keltner-Jim Gordon "Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour" configuration. I was told at the time that those drums were ordered from this shop. Can't verify that, but it certainly excited me. Everything on these drums is original except where noted.
Both bass drum heads are original, bottom floor tom head is original and all the rest of the heads are coated Ambassadors top and bottom.
Rather than order the double tom tom mount from Camco, I had Yeagers shop techs order and install a classic Rogers Swiv-o-Matic set on the BD and Toms. At the time I wanted the adjustability of that piece of hardware.
The Swivomatic has one replacement set screw, 2 tom hoops are not original, 8+ tension rods also after market. Shell bearing edges are beautiful. and reringed.
I have a series of pictures you can view by going to http://drumdrome.yolasite.com/ and clicking on the Camco 4 piece drumset banner at the top of the website,
At the end of the photo series I have tried to show closeups of the condition of the wood. You'll note scratches, clear coat gone, some scuffing and some loss of some surface and some divoting of the shell/s. More on the rack toms than anywhere. The BD has a ring of raised grain in the clear coat on the outside of the shell. These are/were players drums and even though always case, they sustained some scuffing up. Some pedal and claw rash on the wooden hoops of the BD.
That said, they play great. Monster sound. The Bass Drum kills. What you'd expect from Camco gear of this Vintage and shells of this quality.
I'll entertain reasonable offers on these guys. For more details, questions or if you want to make an offer, please contact me through the VD forum by private email or through eBay at up-n-square .
Thanks a lot. Hope to hear from you. CHS3
