Vintage Rogers

Here's my newly restored Rogers kit in a red glass glitter finish.

I absolutely love Rogers Drums.

What do the paper tags say on your drums?

These are really nice, it's a shame they will be traded away within a month.

Well, the floor tom says Cleveland, Holiday series, the tom and kick are missing the tags. They all have grey interiors.
Is there any other way to tell what year the other two might be? Does the kit look original? I mean, the right tom and cymbal holder placement, thanks.

The cymbal arm on the BD definitely is not original to the set. The collet had to be spread pretty good to get that 11mm rod into it. Give me the serial number range on the tag, and I can give you a decent estimate on a year. They will be 1963-late 66, early 67.

Here is a pic of the correct cymbal arm for the telescope mount....it is a 3/8 chrome plated hex rod that mounts a Rogers cymbal tilter on top. Any where from 60-120 dollars on the used market.

Very nice looking kit, one of my favorites

Hey, hey.....welcome back (again) JGPR (or should I say, Tommy-Ringo-Stickit?)....that drum room and yet another kit are a dead giveaway, my friend. :-)

As usual, yet another sweet kit. You come across some good ones mate. Is this one finally a keeper?

Nice kit!
I really like bass drum mounted cymbal holders.
I mount one on all of my kits.
Even my new kits.

Yes, I know the cymbal arm is not a Rogers, I used one that I had, I'm talking about the mounts on the kick. From the pic of yours, it looks like it's all correct, there are no extra holes, so other than the floor tom being recovered it seems to be all original, thanks for your help.
