Can anyone tell from the pics if this is an English or U.S made Rogers.

English,

I've got a beautiful English rogers if you're after one. :) It's in blue streak and the rarest finish they ever produced 12 16 20. Beautiful kit:

It's more than likely English going by,

1. The distance between the swivo hardware ontop of the bass drum

2. You can see a clear (not grey) interior on the floor tom

3. The tom mount in picture 2 has Made in England written on it

It looks like the kit might be missing it's badges or they have broken off, it was quite common for the badges to bend and break on the UK Rogers. English rogers badges are actually smaller in length than US badges, you can tell a uk badge by the font being straight (not angled like US script badges), the font on UK badges is also underlined. The other distinguishable factor between US and UK rogers is the direction of the wood grain. UK rogers have a vertical wood grain and US have a parallel grain.

Good luck

Doug has it right, it is English Rogers in Grey Ripple wrap. Here is mine -

But they have a tenancy to fade which is what that one has done, like this.

Doug's pointed correctly to a few things but also look at the second photo in the ebay listing. The collet plate says "Swiv-o-matic".

I used to have an English Rogers kit. All the Swivo hardware was stamped "Made in U.K".

18" inch bass (or whatever the metric closest to that is), fun to play...

These are quite exceptional. Polished steel replica. Wont break like the original and a great price.

What kind of a set have you got?
