Just that 1 crummy picture! DOH

It never cease's to amaze me Hmmmm I'd tell him what shots you want to see. If he's legit he should'nt mind getting you a decent shot. Ridiculous ,if that fail's go storm Storm Trooper trooper on him. lol

The badge is from very late 1970's to 1980's..rouned corner--pointy corner badge is mid 1970's in the B/O badge's..If i recall right the ludwig rocker's drums did not used b/o badge's they were b/w--black and white in the 80s...Mikey

Could be a very late 1979 Supra. It's not a Rocker -wrong color badge. The Rockers badge was black and white. My guess is that it's a Supra.

Nope....you're all wrong. Look closely at the outline of the lug in the left of the picture. Its a "jazzfest" style lug. The Rocker series snare drums were 4-ply "select american hardwood" shells with a plastic chrome-over-wood wrap and yes they did get the rounded corner blue/olive badge. This is probably from the 1979-1984 era. For the short time after they were made after 1984 they did get black and white badges.

Next! :D

^^^ What he said but I heard the cutoff was 1983. Look inside the drum. Does it have a brownish granitone paint? I believe this is a late 70s or early 80s plastic/chrome wrap "Jazz Festival" type snare drum. But they may have been part of the Rockers series (I seem to remember some of them coming out with the classic type lugs rather than the rounded "Standard" lugs).

Yes the original Rocker series had classic lugs fitted to them, not the standard or Rocker II style if you will. I have a catalog that dates to 1984 and that snare is in it, so the "cutoff" as you put it was a bit later. The interior should be natural finish as well. The granitone interior finish didn't come around until they switched to the Rocker II style lugs and fitted the black & white badges. By the 1988 catalog this particular model b/o badge Rocker drum was gone and replaced by the Rocker II style drum. Same shell, just different hardware and interior shell coatings.

I vote the 4 ply select hardwood too. Actually a nice drum too.

[COLOR=darkred]1).[/COLOR] I told him twice what I wanted to see. Seems he knows it won't sell if someone actually sees it. There are 4 pix altogether, the other 3 show the drum in the case (2) and the case, no drum with the stand and stix, which look like "Rocker" logo to me.

[COLOR=darkred]2).[/COLOR] If it is a good sounding drum, what is it worth with the complete package?

[COLOR=darkred]3).[/COLOR] Should I cut and run or slug it out and buy the dang thing?

A good deal would be under the 100 mark. If it gets into the area of 135, think Ventures - Walk Don't Run.
