> But I do believe the Rogers Swivo-Matic throw off was the absolute best made by anyone at the time, and for a long time after.
Not just the throw-off, the entire Swivomatic line of hardware represents what is still to this day some of the most well-built, well-designed and -useful- (utilitarian) drum hardware ever made.
I agree. Not much else I can think of that is equal to, or better than the old Swivo stuff. Rock-solid, reliable hardware. Toms stay where you put them!
