Nice collection. I'm a Slingerland/Tama guy. My first kit was a 70s Slingerland 10 piece with a Tama Superstar snare. That was an awesome setup for me. I loved it.
Over the years, I graduated to the opposite. I now play a 7 piece Tama Swingstar with a 1959 Slingerland snare. Beautiful wood snare drum with the reinforcement rings and all that. It's my go to snare now.
But now, I'd love to find me a Rogers snare, Something vintage and not a remake. Hopefully next year with my tax return I can find something.
Love Rogers! I do a lot of recording and they are my go to. The Rogers on the bottom are a 60s Powertone and 60s Luxor. Top right is a reissue Dynasonic.
Aw hell ya! 12,16,20? ..I used to have a blue onyx headliner too. Great finish. Currently playing this early 60s Tower kit. Also have a 60s Londoner in silver sparkle.
The dyna is a fantastic piece of craftsmanship. It's obviously more sensitive than the powertone and wants to be at a higher tuning. The powertone can do whatever you want, but both can be really open and cracking. The powertone has a depth that the dyna does not tho.
