Neither hoop on this drum is rogers. This drum is from approx. 1981. One picture doesn't make for the sale price. You cannot see the actual condition of the finish. Nor do you know anything of the internals.
Prices for an 8x14 have been in the 700-1000.00 range for the past year... and they have sold. 6.5x14... would be 800-1100. A 5 x14... 900-1200. And they have sold. Of course on any given day some knucklehead what doesn't know anything about anything will put one of these up for 300.00 because it is just... an old drum. With an ugly badge. Like I said...they have been selling high. Primarily.. the rarity. The 8x14 is the most common size in these XP10 Ten Ply All North American Maple Keller shell snare drums. The 5x14 is the rarest. Only a few dozen known. FEW means exactly that. FEW. Like two or three dozen in the 5x14 size. Those who think they are over priced, don't have one, probably don't want one. And wouldn't pay more than 200 for anything. These drums were offered as a Dyna-Sonic and as a SuperTen conventional snare drum. Prices for both are the same. No kick extra for a Dyna-Sonic, and no penalty for a SuperTen.
My collection includes two 6.5x14 Dyna-Sonics with consecutive serial numbers, and a 6,5x14 SuperTen made for Gina Schock of the Go-Go's. It is inscribed by the production manager of Rogers, January 26, 1983, and by the artist, in 2012.
