Just picked this up in the U.S. Big drums (bass drum is a custom 18" x 24") from around 1969/70 which sound astounding. Scared the hell out of my band when I tried them out. Interesting "old fashioned" stuff like joining a 10" and 8" shell together to get the 18" depth. 16" is a Chanute period drum and will probably become part of my Chanute kit.

I bet that huge bass drum sounds like thunder and lighning! Nice old vintage patina on those babies. Natural maple gets that nice honey yellow colour when it's aging. I din't get that with the 8" and 10" drums though...explain one more time. I'm a stupid Swede after all..
Jag pröver på svenska/dansk - Camco kunde inte bygga en 18" tums djup baskagge då så de tog ett 8" djupt skal och ett 10" djupt skal och limmad dem tilsammans med en "glue ring" under fogen (plus de vanliga glue rings på kanterna.
Aha, so there are actually three support rings in the shell. Interesting construction. I've seen a couple of modern drum brands offering super deep bass drum shells (tunnels), but I suppose Camco was rather unique offering that already in the 60s.
