1950 Rogers Classmate Samples

Vintage Uniquely Dry Sound …

This vintage Rogers drum has a 3-ply mahogany shell that is only 3” deep. The L-shaped flange hoops and the 6 single tension rods with center support combined with the original silk wire-wound snares, produces a very dry sound - very little sizzle from the snares. If you’re looking for a unique sound of more warmth, without a lot of crack, this is the snare for you.
