Just stunning. Congratulations on getting stray family members back together where they belong. Now lets hope they never get separated again. Amazing that you were able to find the matching 14" FT.

A real beauty! Your waiting paid off!

Wonderful kit.... I have a 12/20 (regular, not Tower) in Steel Grey Ripple and am on the look out for matching floor tom also. I hope my patience pays off at some point like yours did!

Patience can pay well over time. I have an SGR purchased in 2011... 20-12-16. Found my 1414 two years ago this month.

Congratulations! Always great to complete a kit.
It is odd how it goes sometimes. I bought a steel grey ripple set in 20,12,16 configuration way back around 2000 or so. It came with a beautiful 14x14 in sky blue ripple. At the time, I kept thinking, how long will it take to find a blue ripple 20" bass and 12" tom? I sold it a few months later. Well, about two years ago (14 years after the fact) a bass showed up. I've still never seen a tom. So you never know. I would consider both of you guys very fortunate to have found your 14x14 steel grey ripple floor toms.
A lovely set of drums. Very nice.

I so want this kit! Make me an offer! :)
BTW, why was the 14" floor tom so rare for Rogers?
Congrats on the floor tom! Well worth the wait, I say. Spectacular kit.
