Rogers Powertone Snare Drum Serial Numbers

Basically the Big 'R' logo was used after CBS bought the Rogers line.it was the beggining of the end for Rogers as a power house drum company. CBS was in the business of the bottom line.and they believed that they could mass produce an inferior product and get by on just the Rogers Name. The 'Buzz' words in Rogers drums are Cleveland and Dynasonic. If you see a Big 'R' logo on a Rogers drum run far far away.a couple of sites to look at for info and also ask questions: Steve Maxwell is a Rogers inficianado.he LOVES him some rogers.he not only collects but buys and sells.he's had some Incredible Dynasonics this is a great site cause it has a Lot of the serial numbers and what dates corespond to them.

More info.not just about rogers but a lot of other makers as well.hope this helped in your search.

More info.not just about rogers but a lot of other makers as well.hope this helped in your search Thanks heaps for your massive reply! Cleveland drums after beavertail lugs. Dayton drums before CBS Fullerton drums before 9/72. Fullerton drums to 1975 Big R drums to 1979. Big R drums to about 1985. After that crap.

Big R drums were produced from 1975 to 1979 as five ply maple/poplar/maple/poplar/maple. Thin shells, memrilock hardware. Big R drums were produced from mid 79-85 as an all maple 8 ply shell, with memrilock hardware. Both Big R eras produced good drums although the available finishes were limited. Capture One 6 Serial Keygen Patch.

In 79, Rogers also began producing some lacquered finishes. Quality was good, and durability was much higher than the 9/72 era. The memrilock hardware became the standard for the industry after 1975 with all drum companies rushing to produce massive hardware capable of withstanding constant punishment. Cleveland era drums have the paper tags (as do Dayton, Fullerton, and 9/72 Fullerton) which include the model name, serial number and city of origin.

Cleveland drums interiors are finished in a flat gray lead based paint as are also some of the earlier Dayton drums. Later Dayton drums, as well as all Rogers produced to 1979, use the Zolocoat splatter paint on the interior.

Cleveland and Dayton Lugs, The Beavertail of fame, are heavier with more weight and mass than the later Dayton, and Fullerton era lugs. In 1975, the springless beavertail was introduced which used a retaining clip to keep the tension rod receiver from falling into the lug cavity. (by the way, the throwoff on the WMP Dynasonic is NOT original) And I do own a number of Rogers sets.

I have 2 really nice Power Tone snare drums & I am trying to figure out the year they were made. The chrome one has a Fullerton CA label inside with serial number- 049996. The SS one has a Dayton OH one with serial number- 17317. Both these drums are in great shape too (see pics) Thanks!

I would not be embarassed to have them set up next to anyones drums. Interesting.I don't know you from Adam and yet you have to run your suck hole.gotcha.SO.yeah you own a lot of drums.and I don't see one Cleveland WOOD Dynasonic in the Bunch.so what Makes you so much smarter than someone like Steve Maxwell.he's looked at the drum in many more pics than you saw.and the only flaw he finds is the lack of snare guards.there's a LOT more Story behind the drum than you'll know. But of course I attacked your precious collection so you have to show Me how smart you are.blah blah blah. Ive considered how to respond to Coyotes post, and I am at a loss as to his whole attitude.

Steve Maxwell is a very respected builder, collector, and dealer of vintage and modern drums, by myself included. However, despite whatever story may be behind your Dynasonic, the throwoff is not original, as it wasnt even manufactured when that drum was produced. Youve got a nice drum. In the first year of production nice.

It's WMP, the serial number puts it in the first thousand Dynasonics produced. It could be worth three to four thousand dollars, based on its color and production period alone. Its a nice drum, for about 100.00 you could find the correct clockface Dynasonic throwoff to give it an overall original appearance. As for the rest of your post, I am unaware you attacked my 'Prescious Collection' as you put it, in any way, in any of the previous posts in this thread or any other, either on this forum or any of the other drum forums.

There was nothing in my post to warrant the response you made. I simply stated some relevant facts concerning Rogers and the various time periods, and of course the necessity of brevity in a post means there are all sorts of voids in my own post.

I could have ran on and on and been quite thorough, I didnt feel the need. I only attempted to smooth out some of the timeline and fill in some holes, as others who have posted to this thread have attempted to do.

Perhaps you are always a *******. But as you stated, I dont know you from Adam.

What I do know is that you have the personality of a turd.

I am quite knowledgeable about Rogers drums and the comment about the worthiness of Rogers chrome snares is just not accurate. Rogers COB (chrome over brass) Dynasonic drums are definitely sought after, but you need to be careful about which version you buy. The early chrome models with the 'script' logo & the oval 'custom made' badges ARE very sought after and are some of the best sounding snare drums ever made. Later Dynasonics with the 'Big R' logo are less sought after and go for less money. Rogers made many more metal Dynasonics than wood ones, so the prices are much lower. You can get a nice COB Dynasonic in the $300-$350 range on Ebay. The much rarer wood models can sell in the thousands depending on the condition and the rarity of the wrap color.

What makes this snare unique is the snare mechanism. On most snare drums, tightening the snares also pulls the snares tighter against the bottom head. This can raise the pitch of the bottom head, and cause the snare to 'choke.' The Dyna has a snare frame that allows you to tension the snare wires independently. Thus, you can have a tight snare sound, yet have a fully resonant bottom head. Other than the Dynasonic models, Rogers made other excellent snares, like the Tower and Powertone models to name just a few. Your drum is a 70's drum and is not a real collectors drum, but they still can sound great.
