Posts: 19 Threads: 5

i just picked up a set of rogers drums.

(22, 16, and 12 & 13 power toms)

they have a big R for a badge, but no serial numbers.

does anybody know when these were made?

they seem to be 7 ply. maybe mahogany and birch.

and - does anybody know where i can get 1" memory locks?

USA BADGE.......... 1979-81

Eight Ply all American continent maple.

If it is a NON USA Badge.... late 80s. .... and this sounds like what you have. Asian imports.

i can see light and dark plys in the bearing edges, so i don't think they are all maple.

Badges do not say USA on them, and bass drum spurs are imported Rogers shell type.

great...

the bass drum claws are so thin they bend when you tighten the t-rods.

well for $90 i got a dw 7000 pedal, sabian b8 hihats and 20" ride, and yamaha snare stand and pdp(?) hihat stand. i'll sell the drums cheap and put everything else on ebay.

thanks for all the help
