How do you tell which hoops I have? I see adds for "tall Boy", Is there a measurement at the lip for these?
Rogers Drums Hoop question.
The following information was taken from page 148 of Rob Cook's fine publication, "The Rogers Book", Second Edition:
"Tall Hoops", the triple-flanged hoops Rogers began making
in Covington in the early 1960s were what today's collectors
refer to as "tall hoops". While the overall height of a Ludwig
hoop from the same era is about 1 1/16" and the distance
from the mounted head to the top of the hoop is 3/8", the
measurements for the tall hoops are 1 1/4" and 5/8"
respectively. (Rogers hoops were steel not brass like Ludwig's.)
I just got that book for Christmas....a wealth of information and some great photo's of Rogers gear.......
I ordered it myself, Maybe I will find some interesting facts in it.
Yes,
You read ANY of Rob's books and you find out how much you "didn't" know.
They're ALL great sources of information.
