What Yamaha did with the Rogers line absolutely makes no sense. The only drummers who would know anything about Rogers long history of great drums would be older guys like me and many of you. We would know these "new" Yamaha plywood shells were junk. They weren't gonna fool us. And the kids who have never heard of Rogers wouldn't buy these anyway,. Their heroes are playing other popular brands.
I don't mean to hijack the thread...but if I could poke in for a second
Larry....where can I see some pics of that '63 Luddy?
