Rogers Timbales

Posts: 246 Threads: 31

Have not seen any pictures of vintage timbales so, here you are! I got these in '76 with my '71 Ludwig Big Beat kit from original owner. Not sure how old they actually are. I believe they are chrome over alum. shells with plastic coated HEAVY steel rims.

Back in 1972 one of my coworkers was a long time friend of Tito Puente. I got invited to dinner & drinks with Tito and then off to a gig he was playing at the Roseland Ballroom.

I gained a new respect for Timbales after hearing Tito play live. It's an art and he is a Master. Great instrument, I've just always had so much trouble with Latin rhythms that I passed on learning how to play them. But I have a ton of respect for guys/gals that do know how to play them well. Latin dance music and Latin jazz is no easy genre to master.

Hmmm, wonder if Rogers made Chimi-Changa's?! lol (Sorry Mak, couldn't resist!)

Too many great drums to list here!

the best are chicken yum yum

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Those are 1970's rogers timbales they are the intern model when cbs was turning over from better to worst, soon after this the company was given to guys running the fender corporation and they finished running rogers to the ground. They also made additional changes to these timbales changing claws and stands for the worst.
