This is a late 1967/early 1968 Rogers drum set. The blue onyx finish is new. The configuration is 14×18, 8×12 and 14×14. The bass drum is a factory original 14×18, not a modified floor tom. Ass drum is Dayton serial 83xxx with flat grey interior while the toms are Dayton speckled with serials numbers 96xxx to 97xxx. Unfortunately, the original wrap cracked and lifted from the shells to an extent that it detracted a great deal from the appearance of the set. Fortunately, the shells remained beautiful otherwise and the wrap was expertly replaced by Precision Drum Company including refinishing the paint on the hoops. The chrome is very good all around. There is some pitting here and there on the metal work, but overall it is in very nice condition for a 50-year old set of drums. It is likely that it could be cleaned up some more if you felt it worthwhile to do so. I havent had the time as Ive been too busy since I have owned it. As pictured, it also has new reproduction floor tom legs by JP2 Creations. Beautiful chrome and with the addition of one extra set of markers on the legs. Otherwise, you will get the new ones. The heads are essentially new Remo coated Ambassadors all around with a logo head on the bass drum. The bass head has an area where an attempt to remove the Remo logo resulted in some of the white coating coming off. The logo is a die-cut logo. It is ready to go out on a gig right away, though you may want to add muffling strips to the bass drum depending on the venue and sound you want to achieve. Portions of the set will be disassembled to allow the entire kit to fit in a single box. So please read this description carefully, look at the photos carefully and ask any questions you may have.
