Hello folks! A local drummer, a fine fellow by the way, and I 'kind of' put the deal together a few days before Thanksgiving. We were both busy though, so held off about a week and a half until time wasn't such an issue.
Long story short, I picked up a sweet, extremely clean and well maintained Rogers kit. It does seem to be missing the 12" rack tom, however, all I play anymore is bass (20 or 22) rack (13 prefered, 12 if it's what I've got) and a 16 floor... with various snares. This is exactly that: 22, 13, 16.
Okay Rogers folks, here's what I think I've found out:
It is a Fullerton kit late '72 or early '73. The rack toms label is there, but is badly faded. The floor tom has a small label; serial # B 14036 (also marked 9/72). On a super fast look, it seems to be three ply with re-rings.
This isn't my favorite finish, but holy tone batman... these are incredible. As easy to tune as Camcos, and sound as good. Really! I'm VERY impressed. The deal also included the correct logo on another bass drum head. It's not original either.
Here's a pic, not mine, the seller sent it to me at the beginning of our communications. It's been raining (YES) here in central California, so my normal pool pics will have to wait.
Further information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
