Rogers Big R - why would anyone need anything else?



But I also have a Ghost, vintage Camco and a late 80's Yamaha that
used to be my main pedal until I snagged my sweet Big R back from
my brother...

Digging some of those bigger soft looking vintage beaters!

Don't see any hard beaters in your mix though

Good thread. We don't talk enough about these cool old pedals:

2 Ludwig speed kings
1 Slingerland tempo king
1 Slingerland AA
1 Tama iron cobra

Speed kings top them all. But I also like my AA pedal a lot. Plays nicely and has such great looking footboard!

Eric. ha ha thx, actually the DW 5000 pedal beater is a hard white felt beater with the extended length shaft, I do have a extended length Danmar shaft red wooden beater also. I play 26" and 28" bass drums, so that is the reason for the extended shaft beaters.

im only down to one sk and hoping it don't break ...

1-1965 Ludwig Speed King-I am still using it. I clean and re-grease it every year.

2-1972 Ludwig Speed Kings. In original boxes. One has been used for a couple of gigs, the other hasn't been touched, except for a cleaning and re-greasing.

I've played all sorts of pedals, old, new, expensive, cheap.

The Speed King is the best. AJAX? Pearl? DW? Slingerland?(trash) Camco? Rogers?(be serious).

All second rate as far as I am concerned, but a lot of people like them and I am happy for them.

I use hard felt, wooden, and plastic beaters for different settings. I have a 20" BD and a 26" BD.

Boolah boolah!
