I have been trying to get info on my Rogers 360 drums & have read conflicting things on different web sites. I have a set of Rogers 360 drums that I purchased in 1968 that are in perfect condition. I have read that they aren't very good drums & that they were made by Yamaha. I have read that they are a low grade starter kit poorly made & that the shell is a composite. I have had these drums in storage for a long time & had many kits since even two electronic electronic kits. I currently play on my favorite Pearl Masters Custom Maple.So I know what a good kit sounds like.
I recently put my Rogers kit back together again & it was great to see & hear it. I can tell you it is not a composite shell & it is not poorly made. They are beautiful & sound great, I am enjoying playing them. I just played my first gig with them in over 30 years & they performed well.
I am not trying to sell them & don't really care what the street value is. The reason for this post is just to say that I don't believe that all Rogers 360 drums are poorly made & there is a lot of misinformation about Rogers drums from my first hand experience. I would love to be able to find more info on Rogers drums but I would not know who the definitive source would be. At this point I don't know what or who to believe.
