They sound pretty decent. Maxwell's has put some out with a swivomatic holder for the tom and an 'L' arm for the ride. The video, however, is using stands. I wonder what the difference in sound might be.

I don't quite understand the facination with these Rogers copies. They sound and look good enough, but really, who would spend probably over 2 grand on a copy when you can have the real thing for about the same price or less. I doubt these will hold their value, but a vintage Rogers will only increase in value. Besides, the whole mystique about vintage drums is there age, how they've survived all these years, how the wood has aged, who owned thd kit before you, all of those things can't be found in a new kit. Anyone can buy a new kit, but it's finding that gem that's been floating around for 50 plus years that makes you say BINGO!

100% agreed.
Two grand a copy? JR, you need to step into the 21st century! Try $3500.

I stand corrected, $3,500, thank you levelpebble.

Wow! I stand corrected again.
Yikes! Who do they think they are? DW?
I earned a good living as a manufacturer's representative. I personally sold hundreds of Custom Shop guitars that were replicas of our product from years dating back to the 1940s. Some of these guitars had retail prices of $2,000 to over $10,000. So, I understand that there are people who would shell out the money for this type of musical instrument. However, I have never been one of those people.
