Dating Rogers

Posts: 284 Threads: 66

Hi. I know little about Rogers drums and would be grateful for help on dating a Dynasonic snare with the serial number 1938. Thanks.

Wood or COB shell?

By serial number alone, 1961-2. Posting a picture will help.

The drum is a chrome on brass shell.

Early drum as far as Dynasonic drums go

within the first 938 of the badged drums.

before badged drums there were paper tagged Dynasonic.

I'd love to see a pic

If it is COB it will be post Gretsch shell Dynasonic and will have a beaded 7 line shell.

The highest Gretsch shell Dynasonic I have seen was in the 13XX range.

So I'd put this drum in 1962

Not counting the paper-tag Dynasonics, I believe the first serial number on the badge was 1001, but don't quote me on that! I need to look in my Rogers Book and check it out.

Thanks very much guys. Very helpful. In the end I decided to buy an early Supra instead. Been looking for a nice clean one for ages and managed to snag one over the weekend.

That is correct.

And be careful with what you trust the Cook Book with.

Lots of incorrect information ... or maybe a better way to put it is ... a lot of research has been done since it was published all those years ago and new discoveries have been uncovered and many things in that book have been proven to be untrue.

Zero disrespect to my friend Dave Simms who basically did ALL the research for that book ... he's the true Rogers research pioneer.

That book should be called the Dave Simms book

Much of the contents of the book is still 100% valid and it is definitely one of the bets resources we have
