Rogers "big R" orphan kit

Posts: 574 Threads: 32

Made from abused orphans I've collected over the last couple of years, re-wrapped in High gloss white and looking pretty darn spiffy if you ask me.

14x24, 8x12, 9x13, 10x14, 16x16(script logo) and 5x14 Dyna

Wonderful to bring all those orphans together! They look great!

I love the Big R series, they are so sturdy and the memriloc system is so reliable.

Nice job!

Right On! I cant think of anything better than breathing life into orphans to build a complete set. How Stellar, and I bet they sound as killer as they look!

Very nice! I always liked the look of those late model bass drum spurs. Looks like they are on steroids!

Really nice. They look showroom new! Did you use tape or glue on the wrap?

I used tape. This is the second kit I've used tape on and it works pretty good but the seems always seem to lift a little bit at the ends. I just re-wrapped a floor tom using glue and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be so I think I'll be using glue from now on.
