Rogers 9/72 Toms with No Tone control? Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Loading...

Hello,

I came across a Rogers kit that someone had unfortunately mounted Yamaha mounts over the original Swivo hardware and while I was inspecting this I noticed the 12 and 13 inch tom did not have holes for the tone controls. Wrap appears to be original (Black Bowling Ball) and everything else on the drum seems original. 12 inch tom has the serial number underlined reading 003268 and the 13 inch is underlined reading B17...then the rest is ripped off.

22 inch Kick Drum is underlined 002184.

Just wanted to know if it was common for the toms not to have tone controls during this time period.

No, it is not common. However, with a custom order, certainly possible. Or on a friday, and after lunch, with some good smoke...... yea, its definitely possible. It was the 70s.
