Re: Rarte English Rogers Tiger Stripe
Nutbox, Beautiful rare finish and in bulk an amazing sight to see. Double bass in the works...WOW! That will make a great picture. Glad these drums are in the hands to be restored properly and well cared for. Great stuff. New life into old drums...Peace, Gary

Nut Box, you have one of the most beautiful and rare drum sets we've seen. Great shots! Would love to hear an English Rogers some day.

You know TK so would I! I've been getting them together now for two and a half years and I still don't have one that I could gig. I've been distracted into getting my XP8 players up and running and collecting cymbals and the like.
The English Rogers Mardi Gras has some damage which needs repair and doesn't sound like I remember, probably due to the rounded bearing edges. In 1962 as I understand it Rogers introduced the Powertones with the sharper bearing edges, and I have come to realize that that is when Ajax sharpened theirs as well. The kits I had as a youngster had sharp edges and were from 1963/64. So although they never used that term in the catalogues, they were English Powertones.
This Blue Ripple will be the first that I will get up to a playing standard, and that isn't far away now.

Re: Rarte English Rogers Tiger Stripe
Yeah, Nut Box! Be sure to let us know. You'll probably hear a big difference between it and the XP8s. Both very nice, just different era sounds.
