If the guy won't show the drum -- the whole drum -- I wouldn't buy it.

Even if I thought I'd still come out ahead, I wouldn't buy it on principle. I won't do business with deceptive people. There will be more bargains out there, so I don't need to give my money to this guy.

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

Agreed! Jumping2

It isn't possible to accurately date the b/o badges as ending in '84 based on the catalog. My '71 catalog features some pictures with 60s Keystone badges still on them!

$80 isn't that great of a deal especially sight unseen!

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.

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

I wouldn't buy from a person who can't supply decent photos on request.

Even at $80 if you want to resell it how much do you value your time in documenting it, dealing with the hastle of selling and shipping? And if there is something really wrong with the parts he won't photograph, then what? Do you repeat the crime of misinformation in order to sell it on? Life is too short.

That looks COW to me (Chrome Over Wood). [img]http://www.black.net.nz/misc/ani-cow.gif[/img] and I don't see Jazz Festival (bow tie) or Imperial lugs in the odd reflections or edges of the photo.
