Camco Drums (Chanute Badge) [message #11298] Wed, 01 July 2009 20:56 BC Messages: 583 Registered: March 2000 Location: Kentucky Senior Member Saturday night I asked Bud about Camco Drums. Terry and I know a guy who has some with Chanute, Kansas on the badges. Kustom bought and later sold Camco. I called the guy tonight and he still has and plays the drums. He bought them in 1971 from Paducah Music Center. (same place I bought my first Kustom also in 1971) My thought is...the next time we have a convention we should invite and include Chanute badged Camco Drums......talk about an All Kustom Stage! What do you think?? BC Report message to a moderator

How strange we talk about Camco and at least some heads appear. Don Report message to a moderator

I still have the original signed invoice from 1972, for this beautiful blue ripple set. I was on my way to Chanute last weekend with pictures of my set, my "like new" snare drum, along with several of the original Camco by Kustom drumheads; but couldn't leave at the last minute because my wife became ill.

We would have loved to have met you and seen the pictures...or better yet ...the drums. I have a friend who still has his Camcos he bought in '71. I never thought about him until last Saturday night when I realized our "All Kustom" stage was not QUITE complete. The convention in Chanute was well received by the local folks and I am still riding high on the weekend. I am certain we will have another one. Thanks for posting! Keep in touch. If your pictures are digital we would love to see them! BC Report message to a moderator
