Rogers 5x14" Powertone Snare Drum - 1960s Red Sparkle
Couldn't load pickup availability
A lovely Rogers wood Powertone snare dating to 1963. This is one of the last drums built with "bread-and-butter" lugs, and all eight of these are contemporary Rogers replacements, with rubber gaskets. Internal tone control, triple-flanged hoops, and throw-off are all original and work properly. Snare wires are generic replacements, and there is some sticker residue on one panel. The finish is a red sparkle that has undergone severe light fading and now looks like a unique orange/gold color. The red sparkle is still visible under the flesh hoops and hardware.
From Rogers:
"A new kind of drum gives you full snare head action—and a smooth, rich sound.
It's what you cant see on Powertone that counts. And you can't see the snare bed. It's invisible. This means you get the sound you want without excessive tightening of snares.
Think about that for a moment. Your snares won't choke the head. And your snare head has freedom to do what it must do: vibrate fully over its entire surface.
It's just that simple. But that simple difference gives you sound that's smooth and rich. Your sound is alive, projects 'out' where you want it without pounding. There are no dead spots anywhere—just live sound right to the edge of the head. Live sound and better sound because of Powertone's exclusive acoustic shell properties in both the all metal brass shell and the cross-laminated wood shell.
You can hear and feel the difference.
When you play Powertone.
