Rogers Clear Acrylic Dyna-sonic !

This is a prototype drum which was made by Rogers.
Of course this is not the drum which was made by me.

ROGERS Dyna-sonic Clear Acrylic Shell 6"x14" Snare Drum

I got this from the previous owner who had association with an ex Rogers employee. I was explained as follows by him.

"This prototype drum was made in response to the fact that Ludwig was dominating American drum sales with their Vistalite drums the 70s. Rogers was considering making clear drums. A few prototype sets and snares is all they ever made. This is one of those snares."

(Note : This is in the original condition except the snare cords, black elastic cords and heads.)

Well, let's see the details.

The snare frame

Back side

It has no snare bed.

The edge

Of course it has no reinforcement rings.

Snare frame was attached.

The bottom hoop.

Letter D below the knob

The inside of "Swiv-O-Matic switch"

The inside of butt end and lugs

Overlooking of the snare side...

I think that it's a very interesting model when we try to know the history of Rogers company.
