Terry Bozzio's DW - 14x16" Collector's Series All-Maple Bass Drum 1998-1999 - Satin Ebony

Terry Bozzio's influence on modern drumming is immense!

Terry Bozzio redefined the drum set, transforming it into a fully melodic, orchestral instrument. He achieved legendary status in the 1970s by conquering Frank Zappa's notoriously unplayable "The Black Page".  His fierce technicality blended with deep groove and intense musicality pushed his band Missing Persons into the New Wave mainstream and famously anchored Jeff Beck’s the powerhouse trio. His pioneering use of melodic ostinatos and tuned percussion expanded the boundaries of drum design, tuning, and acoustic engineering. His Melodic Drumming & the Ostinato and Solo Drums instructional videos inspired generations of drummers, demonstrating that the musical possibilities of a drum set are endless.

We're proud to present THE TERRY BOZZIO DRUM COLLECTION. The collection includes artifacts from virtually every era of his career, including entire gargantuan drum sets, snare drums, individual toms, cymbals, cases, promotional items and more.

Terry owned and used this DW Collector's Series 14x16" All-Maple Bass Drum in live performances and recordings circa 1998 through the early 2000s. Rather than serving as a traditional bass drum, this drum was one of the many tuned bass voices incorporated into Terry Bozzio's iconic orchestral drum configurations.

The drum is in overall excellent condition but does show some minor signs of wear from it's years on the road. No notable issues. The drum retains its original matching maple hoops, black Collector's Series turret lugs, gold tension rods, and original DW hardware.

This drum is a prized, stage played artifact from one of the most influential drummers of our time. Personally signed by Terry Bozzio. Includes a certificate of authentication signed by Terry Bozzio and Donn Bennett.
