This drum was Roger's answer to the Ludwig Supraphonic 400 Snare Drum. This is an early model with a low serial number, # 0389.

It has the standard clock face strainer and the Rogers script logo.

The Rogers Super Ten Snare Drum was the Rogers Drum Company's answer to the Ludwig Supraphonic 400. It has a steel shell with the clock face snare strainer. This particular drum has a low serial number and the standard Rogers script identifying badge.

Even though this model has "fallen through the cracks" so to speak, and largely been forgotten, it's still a fine snare drum.

The workhorse of the Rogers Snare Drum line. Perhaps not as popular as the wood model, nevertheless this drum delivers the goods.

Interestingly enough, this drum was offered as standard on only some of the Rogers kits of the time.

Every drummer has their favorite drum and many drummers search for their "Holy Grail", if you will. This could be a drum that their idols played or a drum that they always lusted after.

For me, that drum is the Rogers Wood Dynasonic snare drum. Many famous drummers played this drum including Buddy Rich and Louis Bellson. It was the flagship snare drum of the Rogers drum company and the idea behind the drum was to make the most responsive snare drum possible.

The distinctive Dynasonic snare frame allowed the snares to sit evenly across the snare head. This would allow the snare wires to vibrate freely and not "choke" up.

That being said, the drum is rather finicky to tune and a number of drummers don't care for the Dyna. As many drummers who swear by the Dynasonic, there's a equal number who swear at it.
