I have mixed feelings about this. Personally I wouldn't. And I don't want it. Leave the past in the past. Parts...yes. Love the parts. The rare wraps? leave them be. Rare, in the past.

Yes , it has both! Like I mentioned though, I am in touch with a "Dixon insider" ... thus I know more about this than I can tell! Actually, I don't even know why I just even said THAT! Whatever. Next week, ALL will know. :)Tommyp

Hey, I'm in CT too...we probably know the same "insider" ;)

It will be very interesting to see how this return of the Rogers company will play out. If they are not going to build “reproductions”, so to speak, what kind of a business model will they use to compete?

Ludwig has been producing quite a few levels of retro-fitted, constructed and finished drums. Large dealers like Maxwell Drums have been cooperating with Gretsch to make specially assembled sets with wraps as rare as Mardi Gras. I've seen those first-hand and they look fantastic.

For years you got white or black wrap if you weren’t getting a natural finish. A revival of the old wraps might be really nice. Otherwise they'll have to develop something that looks as good as the old wraps did in their day.

They could use the business model used by BMW to produce the modern MINI Cooper, where an iconic classic was revived but brought forward to modern needs. They were very successful and did start out with color combinations that reflected the classic era. Not at all sure how that might be applied to drums, but Rogers will no doubt be showing us some of the possibilities.

JSdrums!

Most probable! ... as CT is a small state, and the "drum community" is pretty close knit! I would suspect that there are more than just ONE "Dixon insider" too for that matter. :)
