I suggest you start in the Rogers Drum Set and Rogers Snare Drums catalog pages. The Rogers drum badge and Rogers finish pages are also very helpful when dating Rogers Drums. Rogers Drums are considered the best made drums in the 60's with the best quality control of any of the drum manufactureres of the time. The serial numbers increased as their corresponding date stamps moved forward in time. In a recent conversation with Jack Lawton, restoration specialist and owner of the Lawton Drum Company (Sudbury, PA.), I discovered by chance that Jack had, over a 10 year period, also developed a serial number index like ours.

It's believed that the Dynasonic was designed with Buddy Rich in mind. It was made to be the most sensitive snare drum on the market. But opinions differ on this drum. Uiso9_pe serial key. Some players like it, others do not. In any case, the silver sparkle on this drum has faded due to exposure to the elements in various clubs and bars. |

The Rogers Powertone was the work horse snare drum for the company. It shared the clockface strainer with the Rogers Dynasonic, but the similarity ended there. Earlier models, like this one, had a grey sprayed interior. Later, the inside of the shell was changed to a speckled grey. Many drummers endorsed these drums during the day. They compare quite nicely to present day snare drums. |

This particular drum has a low serial number and the standard Rogers script identifying badge.

Every drummer has their favorite drum and many drummers search for their 'Holy Grail', if you will. This could be a drum that their idols played or a drum that they always lusted after. For me, that drum is the Rogers Wood Dynasonic snare drum. Many famous drummers played this drum including Buddy Rich and Louis Bellson. It was the flagship snare drum of the Rogers drum company and the idea behind the drum was to make the most responsive snare drum possible. The distinctive Dynasonic snare frame allowed the snares to sit evenly across the snare head. This would allow the snare wires to vibrate freely and not 'choke' up. That being said, the drum is rather finicky to tune and a number of drummers don't care for the Dyna. As many drummers who swear by the Dynasonic, there's a equal number who swear at it. |
