ItвЂ™s also been rumored that the shell stock went to Ayotte up in Canada. In the past it has been said that Tama got the Keller shells and used them on some of their 1st Camco drums. How do I know the shell stock went to DW, and all the pre-made Camco designated shell tubes at Keller?

era kit in the one-up, two-down (В 22,12,14,16 ) configuration on the Boz Scaggs DVD recorded live at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.В вЂњRunnin' BlueвЂќ andВ вЂњLoan meВ a dimeвЂќ are twoВ songs where the Camco toms really stand out andВ those two songs along with others from that showВ can be seen on YouTube as well. John Ferraro is another one thatВ can be seen playing his Natural Maple L.A. I think we all wanted one just like it in the 70s and atВ the time I had never heard of Camco as most didnвЂ™t, which was their greatest flaw.Д®ven today some of the worlds top rated drummers are playing vintage L.A. Toto's Jeff Porcaro, who played on countless hit records and Grammy AwardВ winning LPs, had a special made Hi Gloss Piano Black LacquerВ Camco kit with all brass hardware.
