Hi,
I'm new here, and I'm wondering if anyone can help identify my drums. I bought a 4 piece drum set last night for $275 (plus a Tama Rockstar snare), which the seller claimed was a Rogers kit from the 1970s or 1980s. Problem is that it doesn't have the beaver tail hardware, which, with my limited knowledge, is one way to indentify a Rogers drum. The Rogers logo doesn't have any serial number and the covering is a bit wrinkled. Thus, I suspect that the drums were recovered sometime back. They seem to have thin shells, maybe 5-ply. The toms are 12, 13 (short stack), and 16, each with only 5 lugs. The bass drum has only 6 lugs, with spurs that are straight, not the one inch curved tube that I've seen on 1970s and 1980s Rogers kits. If they're Rogers, great. If not, I'm not going to be disappointed because, in my opinion, the drums sound great.
Here's a picture from the add

Any advice would be appreciated.
