the badge in the third pic looks to be 2635?7. this is most likely an early '66 drum. they look great. the 22/13/16 would be a super classic kit. they were cataloged with chrome supraphonic snare drums from the factory..

Thank you so much Mike!

regarding the snare the number inside is 93809. Do you know where i can find Rogers snare serial numbers?

Is that snare a Dynasonic without the correct hoops and snare bridge? The wrap looks newer.

Is there a tag and/or badge on the snare drum?

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

My guess is that the snare is a rewrap (missing badge) and it is most likely in fact a powertone, but someone stripped the grey paint off the inside when they re finished it.

Again, just a guess, but since its an 8 lugger it is not a dyna shell (even though its the same shell as a dyna technically). Confused yet?

That is an English Rogers snare drum. Not made in the USA. Different finishes were used on those. Early 60's, probably 64.
