Those CL drums are from the Island Music era, 87-90

It is unknown what Joe Chen might do with Rogers at this time.

At least Yamaha managed to put out some student level sets under the "Rogers" moniker and the R-360 and R-380 were fairly decent stuff. Now what Tama did with Camco? That is totally repulsive.

So to wrap up Creighton's initial question, it appears:

Tama owns Camco

Gretsch owns Leedy

Gibson owns Slingerland

Joe Chen owns Rogers

Jeremy Esposito owns Walberg & Auge

So who's the legal owner of the WFL logo and moniker?

Trixon was owned by Karl Heinz Weimer and is now owned by Jim Laabs--which explains those modern Trixons that show up on ebay with only the badge in common.
