That purple diamond pearl finish is beautiful. Bring that finish back Steve.Wow.!!!
Thank you for taking the time to teach us about these classic drum kits! I love how they put a pick pedal under the huge tom.
I have an Eagle Badge Rogers Holiday Constellation outfit in Mardi Gras.
What was cool is when I brought home and detailed it, noticed a third rering interior center.
Come to find out it’s an Astoria Cocktail outfit all by itself. I have gotten a Rogers cocktail pedal since.
I love cocktaul drums they definitely have a place in music
Those are beautiful and sound fantastic.
I would rock that purple set every day.
The sound off of that Rogers is just perfect.
I once made a DIY cocktail kit of sorts from a bit of my regular kit - snare, hi hats, and I put my kick pedal under my floor tom. Had to really be light footed with the kick, because a hard strike would make the floor tom jump around.
I had a Rogers 'Astoria' two-piece cocktail set in blue onyx finish, dating from mid-1960's. Beavertail lugs and Cleveland, Ohio interior tags. Consisted of a Powertone 5 x 14" snare drum with the special 'cocktail' mount and arm, 16 x 16" floor tom/'bass' drum, cocktail bass drum pedal, and cymbal holder which mounted to the floor tom/bass. It was 'new old stock' found at a local music store..the owner bought it direct from Rogers at the Cleveland sales office then it sat in his store for years. I bought it some years ago it sat in my studio then I traded it for a new four piece jazz sized drum set (plus some in-store credit vouchers); as the 'cocktail' configuration just wasn't practical as a 'player' kit for me. Interesting piece of drum history though.
That Rogers sounds amazing for a cocktail kit
That Rogers sounds MEAN! Love it!
drums are fun. great video
I think the Rogers was called the Parklane. Love their sound!
I think they all sound great! Especially the snares!
Sound wise I love the WFL best
no stairway!
the Purple Diamond Pearl. good holy god that's beautiful. and what cymbals are those?
Beautiful kits, thank you for showcasing these! That 18x20" WFL floor tom is a monster!
+stevemaxwelldrums *YAMAHA® Corporation built a major innovation in compact drumkits with the birch/mahogany-built Club Jordan.* The CD15CJ vertical drum, ø15"x24", doubled as kick and floor (also packing an internal fan snappy for the top head), and mounted the SD08CJ rack tom (ø8" x 5") and TT10CJ snare (ø10" x 5") on rod brackets.
I used to have a Yamaha Club Jordan... so much fun
Nice Steve, fun video.
