Picking up a Rogers kit tomorrow Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 1292 Threads: 147

Just wrote the seller back & I'm gonna pick up this beauty tomorrow night! The guy was given these and is not a drummer so couldn't fill me in on too many details. Doesn't look like there are extra holes, though I will need bottom rims, a bass drum hoop, t-rods and claws.The Powertone looks to be in great shape. Any thoughts/insight would be more than welcome!

A world full of possibilities. All good ones, too.

Affordable?

Tom arm looks like it is backwards.

I agree, picture is too blurry but I see something looking like two additional holes on the shell.

Good price, but still a lot to invest (hoops, nuts).

Wrap seems to be in nice shape.

Have a nice drive funkypoodle! :)

I think they are beautiful. The wrap and the chrome both look to be in very good condition. The value is worth 500, because you said so. Well worth the additional cost to buy missing parts too. The 12 does appear to have some extra holes and that is a bummer but still a real nice kit worth the time and money to get it.


Thank you!

The powertone snare is worth the $500.+ alone!

Andy, that is a heck of a deal. I'd drive to Saskatchewan and back for a Champagne Rogers.
