A late-1960 Rogers 5x14" Dynasonic brass snare drum. All original with ten lugs, tall hoops, and 5-line shell. In great shape with the snare mechanism working well. Light pitting and wear on the plating.
In its time, the Dynasonic was a ground-shattering innovation and a revelation for drummers yearning to be seen as musicians on a plane with other instrumentalists—with the capability to express themselves in nuance, range, sensitivity and musicality beyond their often caricatured reputation.
From the 1967 Rogers catalog:
"THIS is the drum that "couldn't be built." This is the drum that solved a problem that "couldn't be solved." Before Dyna-Sonic, you tightened the snares, and the snares choked the head. Dyna-Sonic changes all that. Because your snares ride on an exclusive floating snare frame. They ride with the snare head, never dampen it. There's no choking. There's never a snare slap What does this mean to you? All this:
1. PINPOINT DEFINITION. You hear the result of each stroke, even at full power, always without distortion.
2. CHOKE-FREE SOUND. Always clear and crisp, never mushy.
3. FASTER STICK REBOUND. You get added speed and better feel with half the effort. Your drum head feels solid, never soft.
4. FULL DYNAMIC RANGE. Everywhere on the head. There are no dead spots, even at the edges. Your sound projects easily. You hear the snare sound clearly.
5. THE SOUND OF MUSIC. This drum has true musical sound. The ton quality is built in - a result of the matched relationship between new floating snares, heads, and custom-shell.
6. SIMPLEST ADJUSTMENT OF ANY DRUM. A single tension screw gives you one-point uniform tensioning. It stays as you set it. The new snare frame doubles as protective guard for the snares.
