All,
I am looking for some input from Zickos fans and Vintage collectors.
I was the Production Manager for Zickos Drums throughout the 70's. From time to time someone will contact me looking for information. Recently, there was a knock on my door from someone who believed he had located the original set that was made as a demonstrator set in the very early days of the company. This would have been about the third set ever made by Bill Zickos about 1971. They were located in storage in a basement where they had been since the plant closed in the late 70's.
The current owner is not a drummer or musician and is currently considering a path for these drums and he has asked me if I thought there might be any interest out there in the set if he were to consider selling the drums.
I would like to know what you think.
The set contains 24x22 BD, 2-10x14 ST, 18x18 FT. I have attached a photo of Bill Ward playing the exact set in question during a demo.
I have also attached a copy of an article written about the company in 1973 that may have some interest to some of you
