This Zickos Drum Set looks like it just came off a 1976 music store showroom. 

This is an amazing vintage Zickos 400 clear acrylic drum set!! Produced in the USA by the founder of acrylic drums - Bill Zickos in 1976. These are the best acrylic drums ever made, with incredible 1/4 inch thick shells, heavy duty hardware, and very cool hydraulic blue heads! In a word, the sound of these drums could only be described as...POWERFUL!!

These drums were packed away in climate controlled storage for the last 4 decades.  The set is all original including the original Zickos heads on all drums, tom holders, and all hardware. Only one of the drums appears to have ever been played! 

NO Shipping - Local Pickup Only

This model 400 set includes:
22x18 Bass Drum
14x8 Rack Tom
14x10 Rack Tom
18x18 Floor Tom
(2) Zickos Tom Holders
(2) Zickos Bass Drum Spurs

The acrylic on this Zickos set is near flawless and the nicest you will find anywhere. It is literally like new, no cracks, scratches, dings, or discolorations...it looks like glass. If you know vintage acrylic drums, that is a very rare find!

The original heads are very nice, they do have drying and de-lamination of the hydraulic fluid in the head layers.

These Zickos Drums are in excellent collector condition with no notable flaws besides the heads.

This is a chance to get a vintage set like this at an awesome value. The acrylic is the most important component, as it is nearly impossible to repair/replace if damaged, and this kit truly shines with the acrylic's condition. This set would be considered excellent collectors condition, and worth a lot more than it's priced.

This amazing set will not last long, so grab it fast!! 

Again the snare is not included with this set.







Many famous drummers used Zickos Drums including Ron Bushy of Iron Butterfly, Floyd Snead of Three Dog Night, Keith Moon of The Who, and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys.  Made in U.S.A.(Kansas) - The First Company to Produce Acrylic Drums, before Ludwig Vistalite and Fibes Crystalite.

Zickos Company Information:
"Zickos shaped his shells by hand in molds after heating them in a pizza type industrial oven. Some critics say that by baking the acrylic, rather than pulling them into cylinders, gave the Zickos kits their clarity.

The unusual design of the rack tom holders allowed shells to resonate, sending the vibrations down the tube to the bass drum, which in concert with the rack toms gave the kit such a presence in any room. Both tom holders were specifically cut in different lengths which helped with tuning the twin rack toms within a 3rd of each other.

The Zickos kit sounded unlike any modern acrylic kit on the market. Zickos kits were known for their Clarity of sound, deep Bass, and sturdy construction, especially around the seams."
