Camco
 |
Founded by John Rochon,
Camco drum Co
started as a machine shop in Oaklawn Illinois. In 1961 John
Rochon purchased a controlling interest in George Way Drum Co (est
1954) which operated its operation at Elkhert, Indiana. By
1962 all drum manufacture was moved to Oaklawn. The Oval
Oaklawn badge is the end of the production in Illinois. Around 1972
Camco was sold to Kustom and production moved to Chanute,
Kansas. A subsequent sale then occurred which moved the company
to Los Angeles. In 1977, Drum Workshop (DW) and
Hoshino Gakki (the parent company of Tama Drums) jointly
purchased Camco's assets. [Source: The Great American Drums and the Companies That Made Them, 1920-1969

Note I started this Colombo entry
with the following photograph only (Left). Later I was
contacted by Pablo who states that this is a Chinese drum set
that used the brand with no authorization. It´s not a Colombo
drum set. The kit on the right is a real Colombo kit -
from 1975.
