We have a Rogers Dynasonic snare drum in stock, believed to have been manufactured in 1970!

-Rogers Drums-
Founded in 1849 as an American manufacturer of calfskin drumheads, Rogers Drums began manufacturing drums around the 1930s.
They introduced cutting-edge drum manufacturing techniques and hardware to the world, and made great strides from the mid-1950s to the 1970s, becoming a central figure among American drum manufacturers.
Its excellent sound and functionality have made it a favorite of drummers in a wide range of genres, from jazz to classic rock and big band drummers such as Buddy Rich.
The Dyna-Sonic snare drum, featuring an innovative snare ear tension adjustment mechanism, is known as a model that symbolizes Rogers' superior mechanical design technology.
In addition, the Swiv-o-Matic series hardware, which incorporated extremely innovative ideas for the time, was used in the kits of many top artists, including Ringo Starr, John Bonham, and Keith Moon.

-Dyna-sonic-
Rogers Drums' iconic model, the Dyna-sonic, was introduced around 1961.
The ideal snare drum that Buddy Rich, who was using Rogers at the time, wanted.
"The snare wire responds to even the slightest touch, yet can withstand hard hits."
It took nearly three years and a huge amount of effort to develop this product.

The biggest feature of the Dyna-sonic is the strainer and snare frame, which feature an innovative snare ear tension adjustment function.
With a conventional strainer, when trying to increase the tension of the snare wire to create a "dry" or "crispy" sound, the wire is pressed too hard against the head, causing choking which suppresses head vibration.
In contrast, the Dyna-Sonic snare frame allows you to independently adjust the tension of the snare wire itself and the force pressing the snare wire against the bottom head.
This allows for excellent sensitivity across the entire head, even when wire tension is increased without suppressing head vibration, and all snare adjustments, from "dry" to "loose," can be made on the frame itself.
Dyna-sonic is a drum that solves the "unsolvable" problem.

This model incorporates cutting-edge technology at the time, such as this revolutionary adjustment mechanism and an extremely shallow snare bed, and uses brass shell material, which has the widest sound range.
You can always hear the sound of your strokes, from soft to full shots, clearly and crisply, without any blurring.
At the same time, it is a model with a supple touch and a musical sound with an excellent dynamic range, and it remains Rogers Drums' flagship model to this day.
