Tama/Camco Shell Design/wood

Posts: 2444 Threads: 288

Wondering if anyone can provide a picture of the inside of a L.A. Camco set or help me with the type of shells that Camco used when Tama made the drums. I have a set I bought and the shells look to be maple. Just wondering if the Tama/Camco drums had rerings.

Thanks in Advance

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

LA Camco were using very thin 6 ply shells at the end with so little lacquer on them they actually appear to be untreated. They are also radically under-sized compared to most drums of the time. I've got a floor tom at home I can photograph when I have a minute.

And they still had glue rings.
