This particular era features the highly coveted 4-ply Jasper shell construction with 4-ply reinforcement rings. The wood is in exceptional acoustic shape; dense, dry, and resonant, yielding a bright, clear tap-tone when the shell is struck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Champagne Sparkle wrap is completely flat and tight with zero lift. It looks like it was wet sanded and buffed to a semi-gloss finish at some point. The interior also looks to have been repainted as well. The badge is missing, but the underlying wood is 100% pure vintage Camco tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMy Thoughts\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eEarly Camco shells built with Jasper wood are prized for a reason: the resonance is phenomenal. Since the wrap prep work is already done and the wood sings, this is the ultimate foundation to complete a build out matching Tuxedo outfit or convert into a incredible, hyper-resonant custom deep snare drum (though the purists out there would likely hang you for that one!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Camco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52293963841832,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5001\/7576\/files\/IMG_9936.jpg?v=1787863812","url":"https:\/\/www.klinedrums.com\/products\/vintage-early-1960s-camco-tuxedo-12-x-8-tom-shell-champagne-sparkle","provider":"Kline Drums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
