Here's a couple pictures of my Rogers kit at a gig we did for Eva's Heroes last Sunday at Sunset Station.

Something about the Rogers script drums in black wrap that is totally classy.

Nice kit Johnny. I was using something very similar last year. 20,13,16 in jet black. Lovely.

That is an older Zildjian 20" medium ride with four rivets. I'm not sure how old, I haven't quite learned the secret of dating cymbals. Btw, the kit sounded great! It was a fun gig.

Nice kit....what is up with the 1 crash though?

Been seeing that more and more lately...Ringo influence?

I have heard it described like a pianist hitting the same note all night long..it's like...STOP IT!..Hit another fricking note!

BTW..seems to be cool to go without a mounted tom too now.....

Saw a guy doing this local...and just a Ride/FT/Hats........

I am going to ask him..if I ever see him,if he wants to buy any cymbals,as he seems to be low on them.....I am sure he will say.."1 is enough".........yeah,right.......

Mark,

Beautiful set! I'm in the Fullerton Ebony club also. Do you ever use that double tom mount on the bass? If not, why not convert it to a single collet to mount a splash and use that nice knobby mount to hold an L-arm for the ride cymbal (to eliminate the ride stand). I've owned two Rogers basses originally configured for single tom but with the double mount added as a mod by previous owners. I got rid of the double mounts and reconfigured for splashes with no extra mods or drilling....

Just a suggestion if you don't use the double tom mount. I no longer go out with two mounted toms, and as has been noted in Blair's post above, some drummers are no longer using any mounted toms; just bass, snare, and FT. I kind of like this new "minimalism". And I've noticed that a lot of contemporary drummers have abandoned the traditional "downbeat/upbeat" on bass and snare with right hand riding on cymbal and HH in favor of much more imaginative percussion accompaniment. Guess it all depends on the style of music you're playing.

Again, beautiful set, but where's the Dyna? ;)

Mike
