How much is a 6.5" Big R COB Dynasonic snare (assuming it's in good condition) worth? I don't actually know much about the Dynasonics, I'm pretty young and have only been in the vintage arena for a couple years, and I've spent almost all my time with Ludwigs. Is this a good era for Rogers? Any common issues, etc.? How do they compare to Ludwig's COB's?
Thanks,
Ben Thompson
The Big R Dynas were made starting in 75-76 I believe. Chrome over Brass, very desirable drum.
6.5 drums regularly sell for 350-500, even in this economy. Including Big R versions. Seven Lines from 61-67 slightly more, or much more, depending on condition. It is a very desireable drum. Find Tommy P's Dynasonic guide, it is extremely valuable.
hey, I found one of these in a pawn shop in Atlanta [Big R] It was listed for $30......could not believe it as there was a 'no name snare next to it for $50...........of course I scooped it up..........went on Ebay and saw they were going upward of $300!........they sound great........Binny
Thanks for the info! I live in Atlanta, I need to start looking around more!
Judging simply by looks, the wood Powertone seems similar to the old Ludwig Pioneer. Is this true?
