This classic looking vintage Rogers Big R kit is one for the players! From old catalogues, the sizes indicate it to be a 'Starlighter' setup, however the kit comes with a double tom mount, so may either have been sold with this, or started life as a 'Londoner' setup and has lost the 12" tom along the way.
This kit sounds huge, exactly what you would expect from a Big R Rogers. Punchy, powerful and warm, it will record wonderfully.
The kit is in players condition:
Bass Drum:
22x14" shell with original Rogers interior 'Trunk Paint' coating.
All original hardware including claws, tension rods, tom mount, legs, hoops and lugs.
Looks to have been re-wrapped in gloss black finish, which has become a little 'wavy' on the shell. This is purely cosmetic.
Rack Tom:
13x9" shell with original Rogers interior 'Trunk Paint' coating.
All original hardware including tension rods, tom mount, hoops and lugs.
Looks to have been re-wrapped in gloss black finish, which has become a little 'wavy' on the shell. This is purely cosmetic.
Floor Tom:
16x16" shell with original Rogers interior 'Trunk Paint' coating.
All original hardware including tension rods, swiv-o-matic legs and brackets, hoops and lugs.
Looks to have been re-wrapped in gloss black finish, which has become a little 'wavy' on the shell. This is purely cosmetic.
Two of the floor tom legs have been sprayed with a matte metallic spray in the past, presumably as the chrome had come off of them. Again, this is purely cosmetic and cannot be noticed from a distance.
This is a superb kit for both gigging and recording drummers. It has been cleaned and fitted with brand new Evans G2 clear batter and resonant heads on the toms, and an Evans Emad Clear batter head and Smooth White resonant head. The kit also comes with an era correct Rogers Decal for the bass drum, which will be included.
