Owner's comments :
Hello to all Rogers-fans,
My name is Peter van Loon and I am living in Almelo, a city in
the eastern part of Holland. For my profession I am a drumteacher
at the local musicschool and I play in bands as a freelance drummer.
In 1979 I bought my first professional drumkit: a brandnew Rogers
'Londoner Five' in jet black, sizes 22"x14" bassdrum,
12"x8", 13"x9", 16"x16" toms and
a 14"x5" Dyna-Sonic metalsnaredrum. About ten years
later, I sold it to a good friend of mine and then I started
to play a lot of different drums from Yamaha and Ayotte. And
because I am a very big Beatlesfan since I was a kid of course
I also prefer to play and to collect (vintage) Ludwig 'Ringodrums'.
Six months ago I got the chance to buy again a same Rogers kit
with big R's from the late 70s. I just have polished and cleaned
up all the drumparts completely... and as you can see on the
pictures the set looks really like new. Yes, I am very happy
to owe again these great Rogers drums!
Best regards,
Peter
