HY Guys
I need your help again:-)
Could someone tell me wich Rogers Set this is?
Maybe wich year it was built and if it is worth to collect it, or keep it as a very good playersset?
It`s quite a few miles away from me, and before i say yes, to the seller i would like to ask you guys about your opinion!

$200 Euros = $255 USD
That kit, including all the cymbals and accessories, is worth WAY MORE than this price - so BUY IT FAST! Those cymbals on the kit are Paiste 505s, (not sure which Paistes those HHs are though - possibly 400s or 200s) Then those HH cymbals on the shelf could be Zildjian As ($100 right there easy). This is worth 200/255 in cymbals alone - EASY. If those cymbals on the shelf are Zildjian, then all the cymbals are worth $350 (USD) alone. Those drums are "Big R" from the 70s - that's all I know about them (sorry, not too knowledgeable about Rogers). Those are good drums though, I can assure you, as I believe they are American made. A Rogers enthusiast is due to chime in here soon.
Make the call, get in the car.....

Better grab them if you haven't by now!
Great deal...esp for Europe!
Definitely 70's Rogers, my guess is 1976 or '77, if those are reinforcement rings I see in the picture. Memrilock hardware was introduced in 1976 and the XP-8 shells started in 1978. The snare doesn't look like a Superten, probably not Rogers, but a ten lugger though. The cymbals look nice, except for the crash in photo #2. I love Paiste 505s. I have no idea what the hi-hat stand is, but the foot pedal design is CRAZY! Also there is what looks to be a cool pair of vintage hi-hats in the box with the mallets.
This is great deal, especially for the european market! I hope you buy it.
Chris, you have to take it quickly !!

Christian: I agree with all advise to buy that kit ASAP! It is indeed a Big R, late 70's Rogers kit w Memri-Loc hardware, bullet proof! Btw, my grandmother, Auguste Braun, was born in Ebergassing, 20 mins from Vienna. Love that area!

tomorow evening i will go and pick it up! I think it makes sense to buy it for that small money. I probably will not keep it, but it will be fun to restore and play a kit like this for a wee while!Walking

Cool, so you are half Austrian:-) Wünsche Dir liebe Grüße aus Österreich;-)Yes Sir
Cool! You might score a nice cymbal or 2 in the process.......
HY,
here it is! Thats the way i got it! It`s really dirty, but nothing big is missing and the overall shape after the years is quite ok.
We´ll see what i can make out of it.
I am very surprised of the craftmansship that was put in to this drums. This set is an exellent kit!
Kit has re-rings and zola coating inside. Would anybody know wich wood the used on that set?
And maybe somebody knows something more about that snaredrum? Even in that bad shape with a rotten head, she sounds super!!!Help2
