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 his virtually every era of his career, including entire gargantuan drum sets, snare drums, individual toms, cymbals, cases, promotional items and more.

From the personal collection of legendary drummer Terry Bozzio, this 2x8" DW Collector's Series All-Maple Piccolo Tom is one of the specialized drums that formed part of Bozzio's world-renowned melodic percussion orchestra.

This tom is from the early stages of the evolution of Bozzio's revolutionary tuned piccolo toms. At only 2 inches deep, this ultra-shallow piccolo tom delivers an immediate response with a focused, articulate attack. Terry Bozzio famously organized his enormous drum kits chromatically, assigning each drum a specific musical note to create a fully melodic instrument. This drum retains Terry's handwritten signature plus the "Db" pitch designation on the original Attack drumhead, documenting its exact place within his carefully tuned orchestral setup.

The drum shows obvious signs of use but remains in excellent functional condition.
