Haven't detailed them yet, but they're in great shape and it shouldn't take much. Anyway, 13-16-20 with matching 8 lugged snare drum. I couldn't wait to share the goods with my fellow drum junkies...

I'm not a Rogers guy, but I really dig the ripple finishes. Very nice kit.

Thats one of my favorite finishes now!

I found a receipt a few days ago,where I bought a 14 by 20,2-8 by 12's,14 by 14 and matching snare for $650 in Steel Grey around 15 years ago!

I must not have liked the finish as much then,as I recall selling it pretty quickly!

MISTAKE!

I remember getting a SWISS CHEESED STR kit some years ago also..used it for parts as it was so bad!

HANG ONTO THIS KIT!

I am quite partial to this color. and the other.... Red Wine Ripple.

I have one of each.

Some pointers on your disassembly, if you go that far.

Be very careful removing mounts and lugs from the shell, as you could inadvertantly cause splits to form. This wrap is fairly durable on the surface, however, edges of the wrap at screw and mount penetrations could be quite brittle. Be very careful when breaking the mount loose from the wrap surface.

Very nice looking drums. And they are Clevelands, an added bonus.

Really cool finish on that set. I haven't seen much in this color. Is it a very rare color from Rogers?

Very cool! I really like that finish. Different enought from WMP to be...well...different!

As I am still learning my Vintage vocabulary, what are those lugs called on these drums? Are those called Beavertails?
