Rare Barn Find Rogers Drum Set at Memphis Drum Shop

This is exactly why I adore my 5 ply maple/birch Rogers 9/72 Power Tone. Dated anywhere between 1971-1973, made in Fullerton, CA. Rogers was the cadillac of drums! This is a VERY NICE Holiday model kit. I hope you guys do a video of it. Your channel is incredibly popular, it would open up the ears and eyes to a younger generation, just how good classic, USA made, vintage drums really are.

Ahhh...If only it was a Premier. I might think about defecting. What a find!!!Those reinforcement rings are uber maximum.

What would that wrap finish be called ?

That's like finding a 63 split window vette in a barn. Rogers drums were the absolute best drums made until 1983. These are from the golden era of Rogers. Hope you get top dollar for this kit!

Still have that new drum smell when you took the head off? Ummmmmmmmmmm

Damn - wish I had the time to scour the land for both records, books, and musical instruments. Of course knowing my luck the only thing I'll find in an old barn is hay and horse turds! I always loved the red onyx finish. The blue onyx is real cool too. Wish somebody would bring Rogers back from the dead!

It always seems to be an 'Old Barn'. I haven't come across an old barn in years. Old barn...

Looks like ?

those are pristine!!! would love to stumble onto that find:)

seeing these drums makes me feel sick to my stomach, I wish I could afford this kit or find some in a barn :-)

Well Golly! Those are showroom quality ready. No pitting or rust on the chrome. Must have been one dry barn. I loved those Rogers pedals with the leather strap and swivel docking station. Drummer porn

Why does this never happen to me?

Someone stole my Rogers Kit I’m still looking for them !!!! 🤨

Aaaawwh come on man ! That kit looks like it literally came out of a time capsule. Look at that pedal ! Chrome is still shining !

I would do dirty, immoral, unthinkable things for this kit.

Okay now what?

I have a set like this I purchased in 1968 the only difference is my set has double mounted toms and two bass drums and has a powertone snare, all have original heads, cases are the same except black in color. The drums are black strata in color with all hardware and zildjian cymbals. I plan on keeping them.

Looks kinda like the one we had at the local CC, when I was just starting to play drums. Took lessons on a red strata 20" bass drum and a chrome metal 14x5 Dyna-Sonic.

It’s like brand new

Amazing find this guy needs to buy a lottery ticket. It looks like it is in pristine condition, especially the Very rare snare.

In the 60's Rogers were the Superior Drums.

To die for.
