Camco Photo ID help

Posts: 350 Threads: 33

I just ran across this photo on the internet. I was wondering if anybody could answer or confirm the year, personnel and event in question. My guess is that this was taken at the Pro Drum Shop in LA. Perhaps the inauguration of Nick Ceroli as a lead endorser for Camco?

So far I have from L-R:

Unknown / Bob Yeager (Pro Drum Shop) / Nick Ceroli-drummer / Chuck Molinari (Pro Drum Shop+Camco advisor) / John Rochon (pres. Camco) / Unknown

[Attachment: 130819]

Additionally, I should say that this is the only photo of John Rochon I have ever seen other than his head shot in the Camco catalogs.

Can't help, but it's a nice photo to have seen. Thanks for uploading it. Could the moire wrap give us a clue to the earliest dating it could be, as in; When did Camco start using moire finishes (aka satin flame)? Ceroli certainly looks fairly young in the photo.

He was born in '39 and died in '85 at the age of 45 according to Wikipedia. He doesn't look to be any more that 30 years old in the picture. So if he was, say, 25, that would date it to 1960 or so. If 30 it would be 1965. He was with the Tijuana Brass from '65-69.

Here's another interesting picture. In every TV show I have seen, Ceroli always played his signature Burgundy Sparkle. Does anyone have any information on this too?
