Hey all!
I have a few questions about my vintage Rogers kits.
The kit I use most often is a gorgeous gloss black 6-piece
(without the snare), with sizes 12,13,14,15, and 16
toms. the bass is a 22 inch. I am told it
could have been from the 70's seeing that it has memori-lock hardware.
The Rogers emblem is on outside of the drums with a chrome rounded square
border. Any idea the model, shell type, and year?
----------------------------------------------------------
Also, I have a jazz kit (I want to say from the 60's maybe?).
It is a sturdy light green pearl wrap. The set is a 20 inch bass,
14 floor tom, and a 14 Dyna Sonic snare. The tom that can be
mounted on the left side of the bass drum with a swivel bracket is missing : (.
The right side bracket holds a straight (and quite short) cymbal stand. The snare is 6 ply with a paper badge
glued on the inside which reads: [No. 18304 HOLIDAY Model Made in U.S.A.
by ROGERS Established in 1849 Cleveland, Ohio]. Any idea of the year
or shell type?
Both of the drums have the inner shell coated with a gray
primer. I wonder if this was the factory coating?
I know pictures would help a ton, I'll take some if needed.
Thanks a ton!
