thank you for the warm welcome...! :)
i went and played my kit a little this weekend and took some more photos... http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/herjazz/library/Rogers%20Drum%20Kit
it looks like my snare is a fullerton, california powertone, serial # 74378 and i thought my drum shells had more info on them, but they only have serial #s (#773xx) on them, so i don't know if i have any more information about them...
