Tower model snare drums are identical
to Powertone models with the exception of the throw-off and butt side plate.
The Red Sparkle finish is made of large
chunks of glass glitter and really sparkles and glows under stage lighting. The
photos really don’t illustrate the true glittering effect.
Rogers drums made during this era are
known around the world for their amazing sound. They were considered the “Cadillac”
of drums in the mid 1960’s and were light years ahead of the other drum
companies. These drums adapt perfectly to any style of playing whether light
Jazz playing or hard driving Rock N’ Roll! Rogers drums were the choice of many
famous drummers like Buddy Rich and Louis Bellson.
The famous Rogers wood shell snare
drums are considered by many to be the best sounding snare drums ever made!
Constructed of 5 plys of maple, this Tower model drum produces a powerful, yet
sensitive response. It also has a wide tuning range and can be tuned to a
“table top” tightness for quick stick response or it can be tuned lower for a
fatter sound. It is an extremely versatile snare drum. This snare drum ROCKS!
The 8x12 tom tom really sings and has
tons of resonance.
The Swiv-O-Matic tom holder….. This
innovative design propelled the Rogers Drum Company success in the 1960’s and
was light years ahead of any other mounting system available at that time. It
is very sturdy and can be positioned to virtually any position. It also allows
for maximum projection and resonance.
Note the “Knobby” cymbal holder (arm
not included). An optional Swiv-O-Matic cymbal arm and tilter can be added and
reproduction arms are available. The 14x20 bass drum is a real powerhouse! ….VERY LOUD!!!
The bass drum legs (spurs) also
incorporate the Swiv-O-Matic design, which keeps the bass drum from moving
under hard playing.
The floor tom legs are also hexagonal
in design and employ a unique drum key tightening feature which locks them in
place.
