I got left a set of Rogers drums, bass with swivomatic pedal (leather strap) floor Tom Tom and smaller add on. The snare is a chrome super ten serial 5658. Are these of any value....I will sell them.

Unless they are trashed they would definitely have some value. Additional information would be necessary to figure out the extent of that value though. Model , age, sizes, color, etc. If nothing else post some pictures and someone here can figure out what they are.
Rogers were typically high quality drums and are sought after but there are a multitude of variables that determine just what they might be worth to someone.
Thanks for your reply KO but size sure I can measure but model and age I have no idea! How could I find this?
Hi Stevoash...and Welcome to the forum! As K.O. mentioned, try posting some pictures and we can help with year and model. Remove a head from each drum and you should find a label inside with a serial number. That will help us to figure out an approximate year. Also, remember that drum size is for the shell only. Don't measure with the hoops on.

Hi, looks like they are Mardi gras from the page of finishes,
Hi Mark, erm drums I am a novice, Remove bits could be beyond me but I took some photos and will set them up over the weekend to give a better view. Hope the photos posted might help! Thanks.
Cleveland era MARDI GRAS PEARL (probs English Rogers). Don't know what that Rogers patch is on the rack tom though. Measure depth/width of the drums BY THE SHELL (not the hoops). Difficult to tell overall condition but remember it's condition condition condition.

Hi Chris ,
Thanks, well yes most likely from UK originally but are stated Rogers USA. Condition is not fab for sure and the skins say Remo.....and the patch seemed odd to me too!
Will get to getting measurements etc tomorrow.
Might someone be interested you think? I’m more a guitar man, tried to play these but it’s not so simple is it!😉
Will post more soon and thanks!
Look to be 12-16-20 based on the pictures and how they "stack up"...
Cool finish.

"Patch" may be covering the original tom holder hole. Is there a tom holder on the small drum? Also, looking through the vent hole usually shows a paper label opposite the hole you might be able to read.
You can measure the tom with heads, and just adjust to next lower whole number. Rm is 14-3/4" = 14" shell. Standard sizes are 12", 13", 14", 16" toms. Bass with 8 lugs is normally 20".
Condition of the lugs - cracking - is important as well. These drawn brass lugs were prone to cracking under tension.
