'66 Rogers Buddy Rich Headliner Blue Sparkle

Posts: 727 Threads: 96

This is the "Time Machine" kit that I picked up that were still in the factory Dayton boxes, marked "Thompson & Etter", which is where they were delivered in 1966. All the drum boxes are date stamped within 2 weeks of each other. What a true time capsule these are. Zildjians shipped from the Rogers factory, as well as the traps, sticks, brushed, and key.

5x14 matching Powertone, 8x12, 16x16, 14x20

Absolutely pristine. So glad you snagged this time capsule kit. I've got the same in red onyx and if I could choose only one, this would be it. You'll love it! Congrats!
