Rogers set I got, what model is this set
I picked up this set for a steal but can't find a match in the catalogs.
It is a 13,14,16,24 with Super Ten snare. Has small paper tags inside with 9/72 See Pics |

Re: Rogers set I got, what model is this set
Geezzzzz! Here's another post about: "I can't find this exact setup in a catalog. What's it called"? Nothing against you. But, this is a long-standing pet peeve. Somebody ordered that configuration or pieced it together from the inventory at a music store. If it was my drum set, and it did not come to me with some outfit name that a marketing guy created for a catalog picture, I'd just call it something like Ernie--my black 197x Rogers drum set. Once again... please don't think that I'm bustin' your you know whats. Most of my drum sets over sixty years were never pictured in a catalog with an outfit name. Most of them fall under the wording in the small print about substituting different sizes than those pictured on the page of the catalog.

Re: Rogers set I got, what model is this set
Fullerton made. I have a set exactly like them. Really nice drums. I'm not exactly sure of the ply, someone will chime in to let us know. I do know 9/72 is not the date. Mine has that too. I set mine up a little different. Usually as a four piece but sometimes place the 14" as a down tom on a Tama low floor tom stand. Leedybdp, I think there is a name for this set. I obviously have the same configuration. Rogers Londoner V maybe, in large sizes.

Re: Rogers set I got, what model is this set
Great info. Makes sense about the sizes. I just could not see any sets with the 24 base. Thought I would ask.
I did see in some searching that the Fullerton serial numbers with the B designation were from 74, also makes sense because that is around when they went back to the 3 ply. I will call the set "Luther" after Mr. Vandross because he has a strong low voice just like these drums |

IF you end up with a kit that wasn't a cataloged/named configuration, then it's not necessarily a letdown. The drums will still sound and play the same. But, having that added bit of catalog reference is a lot of fun, too.

Re: Rogers set I got, what model is this set
I have winnowed my drum collection down to a manageable five vintage sets (four regular drum sets and one cocktail set). Of these drum sets, I can find one pictured and named in Rogers catalogs from 1960 and 1964. The Silver Sparkle 1966 drum set (20-two 12s-16-matching snare) is identical to the Top Hat outfit in the catalogs. I'm pretty sure that my late 1960s Slingerland set (20-12-14) is a catalog staple for which I don't know a name designation. Anyone have a name for this configuration?

Leedybdp, your "late sixties" Slingerlands are actually early seventies (no black/silver badges in the 60's) and are likely the cataloged set Modern Jazz Outfit 9N. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/imag...drumsets10.jpg

Re: Rogers set I got, what model is this set
Thank you. That's them. I know that the drums were bought by the original owner at least a few years before the bicentennial. I've used a blue sparkle or a red sparkle Slingy snare with this set before I acquired this 4x13 Radio King snare as a retirement gift from one of my favorite customers--Rockin Robin in Houston.
