I just picked up a Super Ten. Hadn't ever heard of it until I got it. Best thing is, It came with a starter kit that I flipped, so it was free! My Fav you betcha. Anyway, everything is there except the round chrome knob on the top of the strainer / throw off. Anybody have one? This drum is COS with the script logo only, and the oval Super Ten badge.

USA on the badge puts your drum at 1982-1984 for manufacture. Asided from the Snare frame on the dynasonic, the primary difference between the superten and dynasonic was snare bed depth. Dynasonics were almost nil, while supertens were more pronounced, although still very shallow in comparison to other manufacturers snare drums. Yours is a dynasonic, it is missing the snare frame. I would like to see more pics. I do not believe your finish is original, which really devalues the drum from a collectors standpoint, in my opinion. It is still a great sounding drum that plays very well.
Thanks man! That's some great info to know. I'll get some more pics up soon...

All of the steel shell Big R SuperTen snare drums have the foil badge in the Oval Badge location, and they also have a Rogers script logo. Although I have yet to see a SuperTen steel shell with lug felts, (83-84), so it is possible they changed. The XP10 Maple Supertens have the Foil Badge in the Big R location and no script logo.
ok, that clears things up, thanks. I went to the CT drum show, sold a Tama Iron Cobra double pedal that was collecting dust for $150. Five minutes later I spot the Super Ten...for $150, hahaha. It's in good shape, a minor pit here and there, with brand new Ambassador on top. Sounds really nice. Now, I'd love a 6.5!!!

The round chrome knob is not available.
Check ebay, buy yourself a fullerton era white felt dampener complete/partial, missing everything except the Shaft and Knob....., and ROB the Shaft and knob for your Rogers elongated throwoff.
