Rogers R-380 Kit Last viewed: 1 hour ago
Got my first chance to play out with the kit last night. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound, especially for a kit that I got for almost nothing. I had never used Evans G2 coated heads before (since I always use Remo Coated Ambassadors), but was very happy with the results.
Thats a fabulos kit;-) i love the look of it! And a great deal for you, Yes Sir congrats;-)

The sets built by Yamaha in the 60s were good drums. Its too bad the stuff they built once they owned Rogers were not even close.

Great job on these and man what a score too. WMP is a beautiful wrap color and one of my favs also.
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

Great looking drums. Very high quality for imports at that time. One suggestion: Put that tom on a snare stand. While those early Yamaha double mounts have lots of working parts, they really choke the drums. It's that old diamond plate design- chokes 'em every time!
Congrats on a nice score! Enjoy!
