Up for sale is a beautiful, 100% all-original 1974 Rogers Dyna-Sonic 5x14" Chrome-Over-Brass (COB) snare drum.

This drum belonged to my father, who passed away recently. He took wonderful care of it, and it has been stored safely in a smoke free home environment.

It comes from the highly regarded Fullerton, California production era. Serial number #48102 dates it precisely to late 1974, making it one of the very final production batches to feature the classic oval "Custom Built" script badge before Rogers permanently transitioned to the square "Big R" foil labels.

Features & Specs:

Shell: 5x14" Seamless Chrome-Over-Brass with classic "5-Line" centre bead styling *

Hardware: 10 original Rogers Beavertail lugs, original hoops with snare gates, and Swiv-O-Matic throw-off

Snare Mechanism: Includes the 100% complete, original, and highly sought-after floating snare rail frame system underneath

Case Included: Comes with a high-quality Protection Racket soft case in excellent condition to ensure it stays protected

Condition Notes:

The drum is in completely functional, unmodified condition. The hardware is smooth, and the throw off operates perfectly. Cosmestically, the chrome retains an exceptional mirror shine with only very minor, standard vintage pitting across the shell and lugs as shown in the photos. There are no modifications, extra holes, or missing pieces.

This is a phenomenal, plug and play piece for collectors and recording drummers alike who want the unmistakable crisp, choke-free articulation of a true vintage Dyna-Sonic.

Shipping: The drum will be packed with utmost care inside its Protection Racket case, surrounded by bubble wrap, and shipped fully insured. International buyers, please message for an accurate shipping quote.

Feel free to contact me with any questions and all reasonable offers will be considered.
