Rogers Timbales Stands 1959-1968

Posts: 527 Threads: 57

Today I am going to touch a topic that I get many questions about and that is Rogers timbales stands. Rogers timbales stands are impossible to find and companies that reproduce Rogers part are not making them and if you find a stand the price is through the roof . Recently a stand showed up on e-bay and it went for $450.00. For those of you that are looking for a stand here I am going to give you a fix at a fraction of the money without drilling extra holes on the drums

1) you will need to buy Rogers-Swiv-o-matic-retro-cover-plate this is found on e-bay most of the times or many large drum shops.

2) A Gretsch diamond Plate mount.

3) You are going to take Gretsch plate and grind off rib bits off the mount and take mount clip off plate.

4) You then are going to center the clip you took off the Gretsch plate on the Rogers plate and drill two holes to fit the clip.

5) Once you have centered and drilled two holes replace clip on the Rogers plate with two screws and you new plate is done.

6) Replace the mounting plate you currently have on your Roger with new plate you just made and use it with any Ludwig tom tom Mount stand.

THIS APPLIES TO ROGERS TIMBALES MADE 1959-1968 ONLY I WILL POST ALSO FOR 70'S SPRING MOUNT ALSO

Here you also have photo so you have an idea of what it should look like as you do work.

Photo 1) Gretsch mounting plate

Photo 2) Rogers cover plate

Photo 3) After drilling and mounting clip to plate

Photo 4) Replace mounting plate with new one you just made and you are ready to use your timbales on any Ludwig stand.

Now on to Rogers 1969-70's era known as Big R and Rogers biggest mess up of the timbales stand. Rogers at this point decided to change stands of the timbales by making them a type of leaf spring mount that in reality did not hold up the drums straight and most of the time buckled or broke tilt system on the stands. Worst thing they ever done. To repair this stand problem you will need as follows.

1) Large Ludwig Tom tom mount. Make sure you have the large Ludwig make two different size mount you want to have the Large.

2) Remove the clip from the Ludwig mount.

3) Remove spring leaf from the Rogers mount and replace it with Ludwig clip as shown in Photos it should fit in the same holes. Then You can use any Ludwig Tom tom stand

Found a better photo so that whom ever is looking to do this job can see how the mount really looks like also note clip mount has 4 holes smaller models have only 2 holes and will not fit Rogers mounting base.

For those that use cow bells with the timbales you will have to use a Rogers Mount attached to the drum as shown in photo or a Rhythm Tech mount that mounts to any Ludwig stand. Rogers Mount you will have to drill holes. My recommendations use Rhythm tech mount it just as good and holds bells sturdy.
