Here's some photos of a nice Rogers Londoner V kit I finished refurbishing today. The kit actually came with a 14x6.5 Super Ten from 1980 but I also ended up with another 14x6.5 Super Ten at the same time and this one, I think, is from 1976, the same year as the kit. So it wasn't born with the kit but it's a nice match. The snare has a 'Drums Ltd' sticker which I decided to leave in place when I discovered it's a pretty famous drum store. It may not be everyone's favorite color but it has really grown on me.

Andrew Congrats....Looks like brand new!! Colour maybe it´s not for everyone, but I like it!
Perhaps a silly question, but..... Did you polished the snare?
In that case how do you preserved the sticker?
Great job, regards!

thanks Heraldo. It's pretty good for its age. One of the tom arms is not right. I only discovered that today as it was the last part I cleaned up. But as I only play 'one up' it's not really an issue.
I did polish and wax the snare. I just went around the sticker. It's a foil sticker and pretty tough so it would take a bit of effort to remove it anyway.

They look fantastic. What did you use to polish and wax the snare? Any special methods as well?

Out of all the solid color wraps from Rogers, that is one of my favorites actually. I like the one up one down photo. That is exactly how I would have them too. Great Job!

Very nice! I like that color and I think it's pretty rare.
FYI - If you're only going to play one up you can take the two "long" sections from your tom arms and put them together to make a single tom mount. I think it looks cleaner than having the big triple clamp 2/3 empty.
