About Rogers Drums
Rogers Drums has a rich and diverse history in percussion manufacturing. The company was established in 1849 by Joseph H. Rogers, who started the first calfskin head company in Brewster's Station, New York. Over the years, Rogers drums became known for their innovative designs and exceptional sound quality.
The "Covington Era" from 1956 to 1965 is considered the golden age of Rogers drums. During this period, the company experienced significant growth and introduced groundbreaking innovations. One of their most iconic products was the Dyna-Sonic snare drum, which featured a chrome-over-brass (COB) shell. These drums have become highly sought-after by collectors due to their rarity and superior craftsmanship.
In addition to snare drums, Rogers also gained recognition for their drum kits. Signature drum kits were built for renowned drummers like Buddy Rich, Cozy Cole, and Louis Bellson. The Rogers Swiv-o-Matic tom-mounting hardware, featuring a ball and socket tilting mechanism, set a new standard for flexibility in drum positioning.
Today, Rogers drums continue to be appreciated by drummers worldwide. The company focuses on producing high-quality handcrafted snare drums, including the B&B Dyna-Sonic and LTD Custom Dyna-Sonic models, and sought-after drumkits in the various series ranges. They also offer authentic replacement parts and accessories for Rogers drum enthusiasts.
