From The Ploughman

Rogers changed to a three ply keller mpm shell in early 63. Beavertail lugs came out shortly thereafter. Around mid to late 64...early 65 they switched from the three ply keller to the five ply keller mpmpm shell and used that shell till the 9/72 drums. The 1973 catalogue shows a three ply shell. Again, supplied by keller. In 1975, with the advent of memrilock hardware, back to a five ply shell. In 1979, the XP8 Keller all maple eight ply shell. In 1982, Cataloge 1983, Rogers produced the XP 10 snare drums, Dynasonic and Superten, Ten Ply all maple, supplied by keller. That is all North American Rock Maple. No Asian maple.

Please forgive my ignorance on this, but what does the "P" stand for in mpm?

Thank you.
