I just bought an old Rogers and son snare. It is wood ,measure 14 x 7. Does anyone have any history on these drums. I see Roger snares but wonder if this is the same firm. What years was the name" Rogers and son" used. Any help will be apriciated.

Thanks
That's the same company. They originally sold calf heads in the '30s. Post a picture and we can date and identify it for you.
I would like to but how do we insert pictures on this e-mail
When you create a post or edit a post look for the little paperclip. That lets you add an attachment from your hard drive and stores it on the VSD server.
The file has to be no more then 1000 pixels wide and under 97K for a.jpg
other file formats have different requirements.
You can always send me the image and I can add it.

Sorry had to try....................

A friend and Rogers expert says this about your drum...
Rich, 6 lug 6.5x14" mahog finish. These drums were
made around the late 1940s. The throw off design was
later used on 1950s Rogers "Monitor" model drums.
Note the change in the throw arm from the 40s popsicle
stick like one to the 50s same base with different
style arm. Early flat top bread and butter lugs will
crack if cranked. For modern use replace with tube
lugs. Call drum supply house...drummaker.com? Cool
old tub!
Thanks for the information , this site is great , I can't believe how fast you responded.
Again thanks
Michel
