How to Friend 'Camco Drums' on Facebook? Last viewed: 1 hour ago

From relayer

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, it looks like 'Camco Drums' is locked-down tight. I will try the other place - can't hurt. I'm very enthused about my Camco and Geo. Way drums, and am desperately seeking a 6.5" Camco Aristocrat snare.Thanks again.Steve

It took me 20 years to find mine. A local drummer needed parts for his and was referred to me by a friend. I had the parts but told him I actually wanted his drum. I traded him straight across for a nice 60's Gretsch 6.5 in silver sparkle.

This is how it looked when I got it.

I sent Mike a message asking if he no longer is accepting friends. I'll let you know what I find out.

Here's my George Way 6.5x14 16 lug snare drum. It's one of my favorites!

Thanks for sharing the photos of those beautiful drums. I was lucky, both my Tuxedo lug Camco and my Geo. Way Aristocrat fell into my lap. They're both excellent specimens and sound fantastic. But that made me even more resolute to find an Oaklawn Camco Aristocrat. It's proving very hard to find one. I prefer a 6.5, but would take a smaller drum. I'm just not seeing anything out there right now.

Thanks for checking on the FB page for me.

Take care.
