Rogers Swivo-matic pedal help.

Loading...

This Rogers Swivo-matic pedal came with my '72 Pearl set and by default have used it as my gigging pedal since '75. I've always loved playing it. I recently pulled my drum gear from storage and did a cosmetic rehab on my Pearl set that includes this pedal. Kindly have a look at the pedal and let me know your thoughts. I have little knowledge of Rogers gear. I'd like it to be totally original. Is there a formal name and model number for this pedal---and from what year? Obviously before 1975 when my parents bought it for me.

In the close up, I know the screw holding the beater is not the correct one, but do you Rogers guys know what it is and where I can purchase one? Also, I'm skeptical of the screw/washer that holds the underside of the pedal to the base. Please advise.

Also, is the beater, washer and nut atop the beater pole correct? Help2

Thanks ahead of time. I'd like this pedal to be 100% totally period correct.

The nut and washer on top of the beater have been replaced. The 'key bolt' that holds the beater shaft in place is not Rogers.

The key bolt holding the rod bracket to the base is a Rogers key bolt, but not the correct model: it should have the washer as an integral part of the key bolt.

Easier to buy an entire beater than just look for the nut/washer; you would then just switch the nut/washer to your beater.

The correct key bolts can be found on ebay over time.

That's a Swivomatic pedal, model number 396. Looks like the one in the '67 catalog, but it was made like that for a number of years.

You pedal looks to be in great shape, buffed and clean...
