Local pickup preferred.
I would like to sell this set together.
They all came together.
If no one goes for it, I may sell the drums one by one.
Let's try it all together for now.
Now, back to this listing,
Oh Boy !!
You are looking at a
1970s ROGERS 6 piece BIG Boy DRUM Set -
Color is New Mahogany.
That is New Mahogany formica wrap over real wooden shells.
Sizes are 14x24, 14x24, 9x13, 10x14, 16x16, 18x20
Yes a real rare floor tom with a 20 inch head, 18 inches deep.
This is how I got the set, with the heads that came on it.
The EVANS tom heads are all in pretty good condition, and match.
One 14x24 Bass drum has no mounts on top, ever.
The other 14x24 bass drum has a Knobby cymbal L arm mount where the badge was.
The 18x20 floor has four legs and leg mounts.
These are 5 ply maple shells from the early 1970s.
All the chrome has some pimples or blister spots. Both of the the two bass drums have extra holes at the spur mounts from some previous spur mounts, why I don't know. The 18x20 floor tom has a wavy spot or two in the bearing edge, poorly cut at the factory. That drum also has some double drilled holes for the lugs, in order to fit the rims. Another original factory boo boo. All rubber leg tips are missing. Two bass drum spurs have weld spots to prevent them from going in the drum when set up. I should call it for parts or not working, though they can be played as is. The 16x16 floor tom is missing the tone control. And it is missing it's paper label serial number. One bass drum is also missing it's paper label serial number.
Each drum is described below.
spkFlBv, means each has speckled grey paint inside, from Fullerton, CA and has beavertail lugs.

I tried my best with the description,
Any questions please ask.
This set is in fair condition with issues,
but is big and impressive, and came together.
I traded it to a local drummer 30 years ago,
Now I have it back. .
The tom rims are all original Rogers rims, and the tension rods are, too.
Most of the tension rods have original washers.
The Rogers 2 tom floor stand shown is included.
No snare or snare stand is included.
The insides of the drums are speckled grey paint, and are clean.
The year is probably the early mid 1970s.
1972-1975 give or take a year.
About 50 years old.
Photos show flaws, and are part of the description.
The drums are ready to go, and you can start enjoying them.
If you can use these, don’t miss out.
I don't have another set like this.
You are getting the six drums,
with the bass drum legs and floor tom legs.
and the two tom floor stand.
If you have any more helpful information, I’d be happy to post it.
As shown.
Please ask about condition.....
if the photos do not seem to tell the whole story, they are part of the description.
Ask, before you bid, please.
Any other questions?

Re: Shipping and handling
Local pick up only, call for an appointment.
My reason for selling?
I like and play small drums.
And I have begun downsizing what I have.
Local pickup, by appointment only, is a great option.
We are between Saratoga, NY to the west and Lake George NY to the north west, and very close to Vermont, only one town away. And 200 miles north of New York City. I-87 is about 15 miles from me. Exit 15, 16, or 17 are close.
Re: International Shipping.
I use the eBay Global Shipping program.
But this one is local pickup only.
Re: Multiple items and shipping.
YES, we combine shipping whenever possible.
On my other auctions.
Multiple items with local pick up works well, too.
Re: Shipping time.
We always try to ship within 24 hours, or the next day.
We really do ship most items quite fast, and very well packed.
However, this one is for local pickup only.
This one would need to be packed by someone else, they are too large for the post office, which is my first choice, as they are the closest shipper to me.
If you can provide prepaid shipping labels from UPS or FedEx, I could possibly ship.
Better yet if I can bring them to a shipper you can work with them,
and you pay them the shipping.
You need to contact me first so we can plan it.
This item is also for sale locally, so get it while you can.
PayPal to a verified address, only, please.
Or, bring cash for local pick up, and see them before you pay.
That way I can be sure you will be happy.
You happy, is most important.
Please no returns, be sure you want them.
This one is NO Returns.
Once again,
Call me or contact me to find out answers to any questions you may have.
I took many photos of each drum, but I was limited to 24 in this one auction,
I did post two photos of each drum.
Please check my other auctions.
I have more drum items and drums and who knows what yet to list.
Ask, or check back.
And, have another nice day, please.
