I have a 1966/67 Rogers 20 12 14 and have played both classic rock,blues and do wop/oldies on.The 20 inch kick cuts a little better un miced when tuned higher,not be bop high,but two or three turns above JAW.When in a professionally miced situation I would tune it a little lower.60's rogers have a little more volume and punch than some other brands I have heard,and heads like pinstripes seem to decrease volume or cut on the rogers.If volume is a concern I would consider using one ply heads,clear on the reso,and I think most vintage drums like coateds on top,but using clear batters could give you some more cut.But if your band performs at mid volume I think you should be ok.

My last band played original modern rock material with some prog rock influences. My RBs sounded good, though I'll confess that I added a new 10" Catalina Maple tom and custom 12" Keller snare, both of which cut through the loud mix better than my warm and mellow RBs did.

Nowadays I just play on my own, and I'm appreciating the warmth of my vintage drums much more now that they're not competing with other instruments to be heard. They've got a lovely mellow tone that sounds great on its own, but they have a hard time letting their personality come through over an electric band.

Kits:
1950s Gretsch Name Band in Midnight Blue Pearl (13/16/22/14sn)
1965/66 Ludwig Club Dates rewrapped in Black Diamond Pearl (12/15/20)
