Greetings,

As stated in another thread, I was proud to be a first time exhibitor at the Chicago Drum Show this year. While I was there, I traded a Rogers Skyline kit to Po from Po's Percussion (THE Rogers guy, basically) for a Fullerton Era Bop Kit, that's kind of a "Frankenkit". I am not all that knowledgeable about Rogers, so I have some questions for you (more pictures in the reply down below).

The kit is a re-wrap and the only original member of the kit is the 8" x 12" rack tom. Pics of the interior are below. It is missing the internal tone control, and the holes were wrapped over without being filled in (see photo 4).

The 12" x 15" floor tom is a converted marcher. It has a Dayton "Powertone" tag that is not matched to the rack tom or bass drum. I don't see any internal tone control holes. Did the marchers come with them? Is it even worth bothering trying to replace the tone control on the 12" since the 15" doesn't have one? Also, are those the correct leg brackets for a Dayton tag or Fullerton shell? It seems to me they would have been the key operated brackets that accepted the hex head legs, but maybe I'm wrong?

The 14" x 18" bass drum is converted floor tom. It was a 16" x 18" floor tom that was cut down by 2". Po said he meticulously remade the re-ring and did everything like the factory would have. The drums look fantastic!

In addition to my questions above:

What approximate year would these drums be from?

If I wanted a snare to match these shells, what would I look for? A "Powertone" Model? I would like it to match the interiors, sticker and shell composition of the rack and bass drums.

Thanks for your help with these, as I am fairly late to the Rogers game.
