Here are some of the parts to the dynasonic. Also a close up of the cast number in the lug.

Here are some more pics of the frame and wires. One mention this is the earliest sought after frame with 20 strand original wires. Plus the snare end plates are COB which you dont get these days. All rods are original plus the lug inserts are COB with all springs..

Talk about (Helping the cause)..!

Let's see what happens next...?

Thanks soon have it assembled. Its great when a rare one pops up on the scene. Thanks....seanWalkingStage Band2

So put a number on it. How much?

All the parts on this snare drum seem to be USA apart from the damper/tone control and badge. Would you say the shell is 7 line USA. I asked previous owner who said no serial etc etc was ever on the inside of the shell. Did rogers ever produce a dynasonic with a pre serial badge with no grommet or is that a UK thing. Seems to be a full dynasonic just put together in the UK. Thanks......sean

British. Not American. Will have some American parts. It is English. Period.

Boosey & Hawkes essentially copied what was being produced in the USA at around 1960, at which time the USA drums too had tall hoops (designed for use with calf heads - because these can stretch). Certain features of English Rogers drums never got updated. So as things changed in the US they did not over here in the UK. Hence English Dynas have tall hoops whether they have B&B lugs or the later beavertail lugs. It should be remembered that part of B&H's profit must have been going to Rogers USA as part of the deal so maybe they didn't have the margin to make changes.

Regarding the parts for the English Dyna: Shell - different to the US

lugs - have a UK specific number in the casting inside the lugs.

Snare wires - 20 on the UK frame but 19 on the US frame.

Dyna badge - I have a couple of very slightly different versions.

One theory was that B&H used USA first generation badges and frames to make the UK dyna but these two different versions of the badge and the wires being different would tend to rule this out. The frame is just a rough casting and would be easy to reproduce for any company that could source the far more complicated parts required for other parts of the sets.

Hoops - tall ones used from 61 to 67/8 and later slightly modified for use with Ajax Nu-Sound. B&H were clearly sourcing these from inside the UK.

Hello ......Thanks for your time. I read all the info on the British website. They certainly did a great job copying the shell and other parts. Proper drum builders back in the day. Putting pen to paper it looks like the drum is going to run at a loss. I paid £220GBP for it. Basically it seems like the only option is to keep the drum. Ive had a lot of interest on this dyna. Ive had some great advice...Thanks....sean.

USA Rogers used no phillips screws until the 1970s.

Thanks Ploughman......Had a look at your Rogers site very impressive. You got some nice looking dynas. Ive been playing nearly 40 yrs and have to say that Rogers out of all the kits are still very stylish......sean
