Terry Bozzio's DW - 2.5x12" Collector's Concert Piccolo Tom, Autographed "D" 1990s - Chrome

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 legendary Terry Bozzio Collection at Donn Bennett's Drum Vault in Seattle, WA.

This custom DW Collector's Series 2.5x12" Concert Piccolo Tom was built exclusively for Terry Bozzio's famous melodic drum system. Finished in brilliant Chrome, the drum is hand-marked "D," identifying its pitch assignment within Terry's meticulously tuned chromatic drum orchestra.

The drum features DW's early small turret lugs and black Taiwan Collector's Series badge, placing it among the first generation of DW's specialized piccolo concert toms produced for Terry during the late 1990s. The drum is in excellent condition and exactly how we received it from Terry. Originally equipped with a DW mounting bracket, the mount has since been removed, leaving the factory-drilled mounting holes intact.

The original Attack Terry Bozzio head is personally autographed by Terry in 2026.

Acquired directly from Terry Bozzio.
