Terry Bozzio's DW - 2.5x8" Collector's Series All-Maple Piccolo Tom - Transparent Purple Satin Oil - "A#/Bb"

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.

From the personal collection of legendary drummer Terry Bozzio.

This 2.5x8" DW Collector's Series All-Maple Piccolo Tom is one of the individually tuned voices from Bozzio's world-famous melodic drum orchestra.

Hand signed and marked "A#/Bb" on the original Attack drumhead, identifying its precise role within Terry's chromatic tuning system.

The finish and hardware show cosmetic wear consistent with professional use. There are small holes from Terry's original mounting system in the shell. The shell, bearing edges, and hardware remain in excellent working condition.

This drum is a stage played and signed artifact from one of the most influential drummers of our time.

Certificate of authentication signed by Terry Bozzio and Donn Bennett.
