Here is a super rare Rogers Holiday kit in MARDI GRAS wrap! This kit is extra special in that it has both a rare 14x14 floor tom and a CAB size 12x20 (12" deep) bass drum!!The drums have been on my work bench for a while and i'm ready to pass them on! I'll break down the condition of each drum individually. There are many photos attached, so please take the time to look through them and ask any questions!
12x8:The tom is in great condition! Original TALL BOY hoops, all the peanut size bread and butter lugs (NO CRACKS), one original muffler - missing the bottom muffler. Wrap is in good ship. Bearing edge are super clean and the interior is great. Tag present. All original Rogers tension rods. The hole for the tom mount has been widened.
14x14:The 14" tom had a couple of issues. The biggest being that the wrap near the bearing edge had folded down. This was sent to Jack Lawton and repaired. You can see the job done towards the end of the photos. The wrap was heated and laid back out. Now a head fits perfectly and there are no problems. Many of the lug holes had been widened to accept other lugs. The drum is equipped with all 16 bread and butter lugs (all which have typical cracking). There is no tag present and the hoops are a batter and resonant snare hoops. They are not the correct TALL BOY hoops. The tension rods are also newer.
20x12:This is quite a special bass drum! She's been through a lot.. but definitely deserves a complete resto. The badge is a very rare OVERSIZED Rogers script badge.. thought to have been used on endorser drums! I have borrow a few parts from another kit that i have to complete the photos... these parts are NOT included in the sale. The (2) 20" WMP hoops, the Spurs and the single tom mount. The bass drum has all bread and butter lugs and roughly 5-6 of them have NO cracks. The wrap has a couple of areas of bubbling but no other issues. The bearing edges are in good shape. The bass drum has 2 sets of spurs.. front and back. I've taken many photos of the inside of this drum. Some of the plate mounts are later mounts... ALL of the Bow Tie Rods and Claws ARE included with the drum. The wrap is a bit dull.. could use a good 3M imperial hand glaze polish! No tag in the interior
All of the drums have some fading in the wrap.. could use a nice polish! I have not had the time to go through and clean any of the hardware or the shells.
