As far as 60's rogers goes,all of that era had swivo hardware,with pre 1963 drums having bread and butter lugs,which are said to be made for use with calf heads,and I have heard can crack when tuned to higher tension with mylar heads,some of the earlier drums had 3 ply shells,and I have heard a rounder bearing edge giving them a different sound than the post 1962 drums. The 1963 and later drums had beavertail lugs which are sturdy as heck,and 5 ply maple/poplar shells w rerings,and had a sharper edge than Sling and Luds of that era,the snares had the sharpest thinnest edge,the toms more rounded and fatter,with the BDs even more so,like DW does today. I have a 1967 Rogers kit and they are sort of in between a vintage and modern sound,and they feel and sound different than the vintage ludwigs I have owned.
