ROGERS Dyna-Sonic XP-10

ROGERS Dyna-sonic XP-10 8"x14" snare drum

Clear lacquer finish, 10-ply all maple shell

In Japan, XP-10 series was introduced in 1982.

"Big R" badge with serial number, and brass tuning locks

The upside tuning rods are different from the bottom's.
Because tuning locks must be set to the upside rods.

Clear interior and black screws for fixing lugs

The edge of 10-ply maple

without reinforcement rings

This is the swiv-o-matic strainer which is probably the final type.

The surface of the knob has an uneven pattern and a center circle.

Side view

I compared two XP-10 Dyna-sonics which were made at different eras.

The upside snare's serial# is RD9787XX.
The downside snare's serial# is RD9788XX.

As for the upside model, the green felt pads were put under the lugs.
As for the downside model, I guess that the felt might have been removed...
