Question; vintage rogers drumset

Posts: 3 Threads: 2

Yesterday I bought a vintage rogers drum. I'm not shure about the value of this kit... it's a 13" tom, a 16" floor and a 24" bass. Who can help me with some info?

I believe those to be Fullerton era drums. Check the interiors for paper tags, and post the information from the tag, that will tell us much more including shell plies, and an approximate date of manufacture.

Tom arm isn't right...

60's-70's Pearl?

Nice... dig around ebay completed auctions for Rogers drum sets. That can get you an idea of what people are willing to pay for similar drums. I'd guess you're hovering in there at $1000 plus.

That wrap looks great. My ol'Rogers silver sparkle mellowed to a lovely gingerale.

Yeah, the tom arm is a dud, looks like an early 70s budget Pearl or something mij. Otherwise nice drums probably worth a grand +....

Kit looks real clean,prob no big deal but it looks like the other swivo mount on the kick is the wrong way around,may have happened if some one took the kit apart to detail it.

Well, how much did you pay for it? I think it's worth whatever you paid.

JonnyR... seriously... why would you give somebody who comes here looking for a little information an answer like that...?? "It's worth whatever you paid for it." :(
