Help With Rogers Snare Please Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 320 Threads: 24

Hey this one here is another one of my grandpa's snares. We quite frank know nothing about Rogers or their snares. I am curious as to what year and how much is it worth?

Nice snare!

Non original wires (they should say Rogers on them).

Play the thing..you will like it.........

Anyone have original wires for one thats relatively cheap? I need new heads for it too. I'm gonna be truthful in 10 years of drumming (started when I was around 8) I never used this drum ever.

Coated Diplomat or Ambassador on top, Ambassador Snare side. Standard 20 strand will be fine. You have a Rogers Powertone, aprox. 1968.

Darn your good. Its a ambassador head. I love the way them sound. Even a powerstroke doesn't have that sound.

Any idea on value?

about $200-250 tops, but they are awesome, extremely versatile snares. You should keep it and play it!

I will totally keep it. I wouldn't sell family stuff like that. I personally love the sound of that red snare i have a few posts below. That snare we have got so many complements on. It fits in with all kinda music. I will set up the rogers one day though. I never heard it in action so ya never know.

So spend the money (or move some heads from another snare) and give it a tryout. Clean it up and take it for a session. Think you might regret not trying it for 10 years.

Just curious - but what snare are you using right now?

You will like the Powertone. One of the first modern snare drums.
