I would like to share some photos of
the 2 Rogers drum sets that I have owned. The first was my Rogers
Silver sparkle Cleveland Celebrity set. I owned this set from
Christmas morning 1967 to the middle of 1976. My father, a professional
musician, had a drummer friend pick this set out for me. It was
hidden in the trunk of my sisters 64' Corvair until Christmas
eve. One of my favorite Christmas memories, is seeing a model
drum set (I still have) on the mantle, going to it, and then
seeing my Rogers set in the mirror. I took lessons and played
this set in a few bands during jr. high and high school. This
was a true Celebrity set with a COB Dyna-Sonic. I wish I had
documented the serial no.s and taken more photos. As I got started
in my career, I had less time to play and my dad had a friend
who wanted to buy the drums. Reluctantly, I sold them to him.
The only items I kept were the cowbell and Premier cymbal stand. |
