Best wishes for speedy recovery, dear Tony! And greetings to everyone at DCP!

i’m a big fan of shane’s style of drumming. mostly pretty contained, but he adds flair in all the right places. i’ve been trying to model my own style after his, and it feels very comfortable to play. keep it up guys!

Get well soon Tony. Not that this will make you feel any better, but I'm about 90 days post-surgery (Four corner arthrodesis (fusion) of the left wrist, with Scaphoidectomy (removal of Scaphoid wrist bone). I'm currently in Physical Therapy.

I hope to one day play drums again. I used to play both matched and traditional grip. Will no longer be able to play matched with left hand, but I should be able to play traditional with my left hand, due to that movement not requiring very much flexion/extension. We shall see. I'm hopeful. In the meantime, I watch way too many YouTube drum videos and blabber on with comments like this one.

Anyway, I rambled. You guys are the best drum channel on YouTube and your engineering is second to no one. Hope you get well soon.

I got my hands on a near mint ‘64 Powertone for a killer price from a collector that was liquidating a collection of about 80 vintage snares. I’d never owned anything from Rogers so this really interested me. I put new snares and new heads on it and gave it a go in my studio and really hated it. I always look for something unique in a snare, that makes me want to grab it and play it. I own 13 and all of them are unique to one another. I put the dual EQ snares on it and that improved it a bit, but still decided to sell it. Then, I took it to rehearsal with my Grateful Dead band and the whole band commented on that snare. I was blown away, because I was NOT hearing what they were hearing. So, I had our percussionist play it while I stood out in front of the kit and holy hell, it was like a different drum in my ears. Tony, good luck with the recovery pal! I’m on week 9 of a 12 week recovery from a horrible ankle injury. I have missed my drums a LOT, haha.

As a Rogers player since the 1960's I'm happy to see a return of these drums. Nice video, I liked them all but the studio I record in would require me to tone down the ring. However, live performance I like the ring, it blends in with the music. Thanks for the video. I like your shop, you all do a great job. Rogers...nice looking, sounding drums.

I absolutely love my rogers 14x8 satin maple snare I got from you guys!

[trevorcurrie]

I bought the 8x14 steel Powertone, and I absolutely love it😊

In general, I liked both of the 5" models at the lower tunings. Thanks for the review.

I liked the 6.5 in both metal and wood the best, but if I could only get one I would pick the metal from what I heard. I had my first Rogers kit in 1972 and it came with a 5x14 metal Powertone because I couldn't afford the Dynasonic. It use to do a good job of cutting through on jobs and it was easier to tune than a Dynasonic. I hope Tony feels better soon and recovers quickly. My best to him.

My first brand new drum set was a Rogers XP8. It was the end of Rogers and Guitar Center was dumping their entire inventory. I bought a 4 piece shell pack with used TAMA hardware. I also got a Tama Deep metal snare and really like it. However, I heard a Rogers snare and wanted to get that deep wood snare to compliment my Tama. This was the 80's folks so you got to put this in context. I really like the Rogers snare drums shown here and it really would be nice to have both a wood and a metal for different applications. GREAT job on the video as always .

[petermasalsky]

Tony! Get well soon, my friend. And great job on the video, guys. Curious as to how you guys decide what brands to carry.

[MeTuLHeD]

Those 14x8's! Tha phatness has entered the room!

Excelente apresentação das Caixas Rogers ! O Senhor Shane é um show a mais !!!

[milehighed]

Wow! Too bad for Tony. Wish him a speedy recovery. And it’s barely into ski season!

Best for me was the 6.5” metal with low tuning. Least liked for me was the 8” wood with high tuning. That’s odd for me, as I usually prefer wood and mostly 8” versions. Nice looking snares in either wood or metal finishes.

[joshuatappan]

Great, solid sounding snares, good price as well. Get well soon Tony!

[BONHAMOLOGY]

Nice demos. I really liked the 5 and 6.5 in both shell options. So the wood shell drums have NO snare bed, at all??

[davidcudlip]

I like the 8x14" Chrome but I think I'd put a moon gel on the resonant head to kill a wee bit of the overtones. Or change that head.

[sigarius]

You go guys. Where Is the video of British drum companys Nicko McBrain kit I ponder? Did It sell fast or are you saving It for something?
