Need Help Identifying Snare

Loading...

I found this drum in a local drum shop. It has ten Rogers lugs, a Rogers script badge, an oval badge that says Super Ten, a generic throwoff and butt plate. I don't see any extra holes. I believe the Super Ten was only offered with a metal shell. This is a wood shell with re-rings. The muffler holes look like Rogers. Does anyone have a clue to what this might be?

How much elongation is present in either or both of the lug holes?... or reduction elongation? 1 15/16" is the Rogers snare lug. The wrap is not Rogers. Never white paint. Superten ovals on COS drums only. Dampener looks to be correct pattern for Rogers. Shell does not look like Rogers in the layup.

So the dampening pattern looks like Rogers, but the rest of the drum doesn't. I'm guessing that's not the original white paint or wrap.

Top and bottom hoops are Rogers, throw is questionable origin. The drum is however, a home build. If you could have any knowledge of prior ownership that might change that opinion, ... would be good to know. But without some real good provenance that would establish ownership to a factory employee or Rogers designer, No... it isn't Rogers. It is not a factory build.

Dampener holes do not properly align on a central axis. This is not a Rogers drum.

I have no idea who the previous owner was. I'm thinking it's a Ludwig or Slingerland shell with Rogers lugs and badges.

Bottom SuperTen rim is worth 50 at least. Hard rim to get. Rogers parts, 150.00 easy.

I used the snare at an outside benefit show yesterday for a fallen fire fighter at a local VFW. It sounded just I thought it would, great! They had a backline and I was afraid there would be some cheapo kit, nope, a 1972 Rogers that had been re-wrapped in wmp!

I believe that's a Rogers shell.
