'65 Rogers Headliner Last viewed: 3 hours ago

I posted this kit in the gallery a week or so ago but since I've added the correct Swivo tom arm and front head, I thought I'd throw out a few more pics. Can't believe how great these drums play.

Gorgeous! I get to play Rogers drums every Thursday night at my friend's basement jam space. He's a guitarist but plays everything else too and records down there, so he wanted a kit....anyway the drums sound absolutely phenomenal.

Those are beautiful.

Do you find the bass drum a little wobbly with just the tom mounted on it, and no cymbal to counterbalance?

Mine has no cymbal collet at all, and because the spurs are short, it seems like it is too much weight on just the one side.

I use a snare stand and not the swivo mount.

Probably wouldn't actually tip over, but...

That is one stunning set of Rogers and enjoy driving the Cadilac of vintage drums.There`s something about adding the swivo tom mount that just sets the whole kit off.Lovely set in a fantastic wrap.

Thanks for all of the positive comments, guys. These really are a special set of drums. Prior, I never really understood the layout of a 16" ft with a 20" bass and 12" tom. But it totally makes sense. The 12 is punchy the 20 is a cannon when you want it, and the 16 gives a clean but not overpowering bottom. Really loving the whole setup and sound.

Matt: I haven't had the problem you've experienced. By raising the front of the bass a couple of inches, it seems to really stay level.

Thanks again.
