Rogers Knobby Legs

Loading...

New to Vintage drum forum. I have a '68 Rogers Holiday Londoner (12, 13, 16, and 20) and I am having some issues with the floor tom's knobby legs. They are tightened down but they move in 360º too easily and collapsed during gigs. Anyway to fix this or should I shell out the $95.00 to buy new knobby legs off Ebay?

Are the knobbies rotating on the mount plate? or is it the legs that do not tighten up inside the knobby?

Do you have the Rogers hex shaped legs?

Yes, I have hex-shaped legs and it does rotate 360º on the mount plate. They get pretty tight when I tighten them up. But, they rotate and can collapse if bumped or if played loudly (like last night!)

You are still not explaining the problem clearly enough. Is the leg rotating and slipping from being tightened within a tom leg holder? Or is the circular part of the tom leg holder through which a tom leg passes spinning around?

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

The mount needs to be peened to the plate. This is a two part mount, not counting the cap. So, if rotation of the actual mount is your problem, then you need to remove them and peen the joint to the plate tight. I have never had to actually do this, but there are instructions here somewhere, or at DFO.

I thought I was explaining it clearly enough.

The circular part, which says Rogers and receives the hex leg, is spinning around with or without a leg in it. All 3 of them are doing the same thing. So Leedybdp it is the latter question you asked.

Ploughman thanks for the reply. I'll try your suggestion.

Any other suggestions or helpful comments are welcome.
