Which Rogers

Posts: 5240 Threads: 1231

I have a chance to pick up one of these Rogers kits in a silver sparkle finish. They are both Cleveland era and are about the same price. I can't decide. I'm looking for opinions on which one to choose, thanks.

I second the script is common...

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I say the eagle. They seem to match better (maybe just the lighting) plus I Personally like the sizes more

Good luck

While I was never a fan of the B&B lugs, I'll also cast my vote for the Eagle badge kit. The color looks pretty good on all the drums. The big question; how many of the lugs are cracked?

The steel stick repair fix on B&B lugs is pretty solid. Mine have almost 4 years under constant tension with no changes or further cracking. I think they guy who came up with this fix has close to 10 years constant tension on his. While the fix may seem hokey it is quite solid. Oh and Eagle badge kit! :-)
