An absolutely Stunning, Vintage Rogers Drum Set.. ! The model configured is known as the “Top Hat”… We special ordered the initial package pictured in this listing on September 17, 1966 from Westmont Music Center, in Westmont, Illinois See Original Invoice. The drum set was played for several years and packed away for the future – About 46 years, in the future… Carefully stored for these many years, the entire set looks OUTSTANDING.. ! The Shells, Wrap and Chrome hardware are in EXCELLENT condition… The Rogers Bass/Tom face heads are the original as provided when NEW… The entire configuration consists of the following ORIGINAL hardware. (1) 5 x 14 Dyna-Sonic Metal Snare Drum – S#8975. (2) 8 x 12 Tom Tom – Holiday (Cleveland) – S#10850 & S#11774. (1) 16 x 16 Floor Tom – Holiday (Dayton) – S#67030. (1) 14 x 20 Bass Drum – Holiday (Cleveland) – S#12056. (1) “Giant” Snare Stand – #4012. (2) “Pro” Floor Cymbal Stands with Swiv-O-Matic Tilter – #4403. (1) Swiv-O-Matic Hi-Hat Stand with Hinged Heel #4401. (1) Swiv-O-Matic Foot Pedal with Hinged Heel #396. (1) Swiv-O-Matic Dual Tom Tom Holder #366. (1) Drum Key (Original) #4409. (2) 14 Zildjian Hi-Hat Cymbals. (1) 19 Zildjian Ride Cymbal. (1) 20 Zildjian Sizzle Cymbal – Factory Predrilled with rivets bagged. (4) Felt lined Soft Drum Cases (Original). (1) Black Trap Case (Original). The four soft drum cases were folded and stored separately thus they appear as new – The drums were wrapped individually in soft cotton sleeves and not in their respective covers – The cymbals were also stored in their individual cotton wraps… The original Trap case for the snare, cymbals and hardware is included but not pictured New straps are on order. The Rogers catalog will be retained, though color page copies can be provided as well as a copy of the ORIGINAL sales invoice. This set probably ranks with those few remaining sets that truly stand-out… Certainly, pricing something like this configuration is quite the challenge – We feel that we priced this package attractively and below estimates provided over a long period of research… Finding a good home that will appreciate this incredible Rogers Drum Set is the #1 goal… The ONLY items we know of that are less than perfect are as follows. The Dual Tom mounting plate on the Bass Drum is missing a chrome bolt/washer/nut. Two washers are missing for the Bass Drum lower claw tension rods. (The above two issues probably occurred in the 70’s when the drums were detailed and prepped for long-term storage). The chrome mounting bracket for the foot pedal needs to be re-chromed. Though NOT obvious, some random pitting can be found. Also Note – Listed separately on the site is the “Add On” four drum Rogers package, including hardware and an additional Zildjian 22 Ride Cymbal… This add-on package was ordered shortly after the “Main Set” listed above was acquired. The set is currently available only for local pick-up. The item “ROGERS Top Hat Drum Set VINTAGE. ! Main Set” is in sale since Sunday, January 17, 2021.
