Red
Wine Ripple is a rare finish. I've seen only one
drummer play a kit in this finish in all my years.

In
1966, CBS bought Rogers. At first, the company
continued to manufacture drums in Ohio, but within
a year they moved their whole operation to Fullerton,
Callifornia.
Some
collectors look down on the "Fullerton"
drums, but they are fine instruments that have,
for the most part, stood the test of time.
This
set is from the early '70's and the wrap is called
New England White.

Yet
another example of a Fullerton kit in New England
White, this time with two hanging toms.
The
Rogers swivomatic hardware was considered state
of the art for its time.

| Comments: |
Rogers,
like most of the drum companies at the time,
offered various sparkle wraps. But the Rogers
Sparkles, and to a lesser extent, the Gretsch
Sparkles had more of a glitter to them, a “crushed
glass” effect if you will.
The
most popular wraps were blue, red, and silver,
but over the years, the gold, champagne, and
green finishes have grown in popularity.
This
champagne sparkle kit comes with a matching
Powertone snare drum. Some sparkle wraps tend
to fade with time. This particular kit has very
little fading.

| Comments: |
The
Rogers Drum Company offered 3 different Onyx
finishes. Blue Onyx was perhaps the most popular.
My favorite, Black Onyx, is the rarest of the
finishes.
This
kit has two bass drums, a concept favored by
the great Louie Bellson, drummer with Duke Ellington.
There is also a matching wood Powertone that
comes with the kit.

| Comments: |
The
Rogers Company offered 6 different sparkle finishes.
This wrap was known as Pink Champagne. All of
the finishes really stood out on stage.
Drummers
at the time used to comment about the "glittery"
appearance of these drums when they were under
stage lighting.

Black Diamond Pearl Wrap |
| |
| Comments: |
This
kit is a combination of drums made in Ohio and
California. Unfortuntately, the snare and small
tom are both re-wraps.
The
original black diamond finish was cracked and
peeling. It needed to be replaced. It still is
a good sounding snare drum, but the re-wrap lessens
the value and unique vintage feel.
