Extremely rare 1967 Rogers Wildwood Drum Set, 20 x 14 kick, (2) 12 x 8 rack toms mounted to kick, 16 x 16 floor tom, 5 x 14 Powertone Snare, matching. Wildwood finish colors have faded a bit, but still a beautiful natural wood finish. Flat grey interiors with Dayton tags, except one of the rack toms has a clear lacquer interior. Rogers experts have told me that this is not unusual to the period. These drums are so rare because they were only made for one year. This model of Rogers drums was most notably used by Al Jackson Jr. while drumming for Otis Redding at his amazing landmark performance at the Monterrey Pop Festival. Some scratches on the finish, and wear on the hardware, but not bad for a kit of this vintage. Ready to gig right out of the box! Matching Powertone snare has less fading, with vivid green, black, and orange colors in the wood finish. These snares run $800 - $1000 alone. Because of the rarity of this kit, it is suitable for any collector as well, even with the minor cosmetic issues. More pics available, just ask, including the extra rack tom. I have only played the kit as a 4 piece, so don't have pics of the whole 5 piece setup together at this time, but can email them if interested. Add this one to your collection now! Price is firm, and definitely reasonable for this one! Did I mention that beside rarity, they are amazing sounding thanks to being the only Rogers Drums from this era that don't have a wrap to cut the resonance of the thin maple shells, but rather are covered with a thin beech veneer layer that has been dyed using dye spikes placed around the beech tree in the ground as it was growing. Thanks for looking!
