Rogers Tenor Drum to Floor Tom Conversion

Loading...

Here's some pictures of the logo heads. The batter head is a coated E-1, which is basically a Remo Emperor. The resonant head is a coated A-1, a Remo Ambassador.

Hey Mark!

Stunning PERFECTION as always from you! :) That said... as to the cost of actually creating it: NEVER count your money while you're still at the table is the old saying! :) Course, I also mean that as NEVER add up how much you have into anything that you enjoy/love. That's usually a sure bet for a taste of remorse, and we don't want or need remorse! You know I'm 'jes funnin' with you here ... but there is truth in it too! :) Absolutely BEAUTIFUL though, and a GREAT size!

Glenn and Jerry!

Thanks for the compliments!

Tommyp!... I always appreciate the support from you for all my Rogers and Slingerland projects! I rarely think about the total amount I spend for each refurb/restore, as it is definitely something I truly love doing! Now, the only other issue is that I just sat the original 8x12 on top of the new 12x15 floor tom and there is a definite difference in the shade of blue glitter. I completely expected this, but don't feel it will be that bad when the 12x15 is set up by itself with the rest of the kit. Regardless, it's just a cool size to have and more portable, and less weight, than the 16x16.
