I never check a certain area of the states CL very often because it is an hour drive and it is rare for anything good to pop up. But a few weeks ago I had the feeling I should. I opened it up and found an ad for "Camco Drumset, Great for Beginners-$300".
Well my immediate thought was that it was going to be one of those Camco By Tama's that were produced in the 80's using Swingstar shells and the Camco name to sell them.
Open up the link and see pictures of a Ebony stain Camco set. There wasn't much info, but I could see the "cloud" badge so I knew it was a real Camco but wasn't sure what era.
Immediately contacted the seller and was at his place in a matter of 2 hours. Sure enough the 70's seemed to have stolen the resonant heads, hoops, ect. But looking at the set I started to notice things that he was selling with it.
-OAKLAWN BADGE
-1967 Supraphonic
-15" Vintage Zildjian hats
-20" Vintage Zildjian ride
-Camco pedal
-2 flat base Ludwig cymbal stands, a spur lock hi hat stand, vintage ludwig throne with the original cushion
- and a Sabian B8 lol
And after a second of being there he says "oh and I found these, you probably want them" and hands me the original tom resonant hoops and the original tom resonant heads.
Well of course I bought them!
