I understand that Rogers kits made overseas in the mid to late 80s where garbage. But as far as my research goes everything I've heard about the 5 ply Big Rs suggests they are really nice drums. I also spent some time on the youtube machine listening to samples form that era and they sound are great sounding drums. In my opinion the 5ply Rogers I have heard have a very similar sound to the 3 ply luddys and slingerlands from that era, a real nice round warm tone.
So why the hate???? Is it because of a bad reputation that particular logo gained in later years?? Is it because he badge is ugly?? I'm looking at a mid 70s rogers kit right now, but I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger because of the stigma attached. The guy is only asking 350, and I'll be buying them as a player kit, not to resell. (I should add there is some extra holes in the kick but the rack and floor are nice) But I still like the piece of mind knowing if I need to unload a kit I'll at least make my money back. With this one I'm not so sure. Kit only comes with the rack, floor and kick.
