Fullerton Rogers -- Downbeat Sizes

Loading...

I dig the Fullerton drums. Just seen 12/13/16/22 though. What's up with 12/14/20 from this era?

There are probably more 14x20 Rogers bass drums than any other size now 14x14 Ft's are another thing they are not that prevalent but they are out there..

Fullerton 1970s era was the age of the bigger drum. There are twenties from that period, but I believe the predominance is for the 22 and 24. Fullerton 14 FTs are however, extremely rare. More rare than 60s 14fts.

Early Fullertons are good. Have to be careful of the bearing edges. I've had two kits from that era that had bad bearing edges on at least one drum.

Guitar Center Fort Worth has a Fulleton era 20,12,14 in blue onyx for $1499. Pricey, but might be worth it if all is there and all is in good condition.

Tough to get a good assessment unless you are in the store. Phone cons not too helpful.

I've got this 9/72 (dbl. bass drum kit, 20", 22",) for sale for the same price they're asking for the three piece. Includes a Dyna.

This could be a good thing too. Unless they go talk to their manager.
