Channeling the heritage of the original kits from the '60s and '70s, Rogers Drums has proudly revamped and reintroduced the PowerTone Series Drum Set! With the already available PowerTone snares, it was only a matter of time before Rogers brought back the whole lot— and drummers around Sweetwater are glad they did! With a striking and forward maple/poplar punch, the PowerTone Drum Set lives up to its name, boasting an unmistakable old-school sound that plays wonderfully no matter which configuration you choose. And with a trio of groovy of-the-era finishes available, there’s a PowerTone to match your vibe!
The PowerTone’s DNA consists of five plies of alternating maple and poplar, backed by Rogers’ standard reinforcement ring engineering. The beauty of this process is an efficient combination of warm vintage tone and the security of your drums holding their shape over time! Each shell interior is finished in Rogers’ classic fruitwood stain, ensuring your PowerTone looks just as superb on the inside as it does on the outside. If you’re looking for a kit with old-school tone, modern playability, and a design that’s built to last, your search has come to an end!
Snares not included.Functionality doesn’t stop with the shells of the PowerTone, as this kit has been appointed with plenty of hardworking features like Rogers’ iconic beavertail lugs. For the rack tom, you’ll love Rogers’ Ultra-Matic and Oval Plate Mounting system, which utilizes a ball adjustment design for maximum placement customization, making sure your setup always plays just to your liking. Additionally, pre-muffled bass drumheads provide stellar control of your kit’s low end, limiting ring and promoting deep tone right on impact.

Rogers Drums has faced quite a few phases since their inception in 1849 in Brewster’s Station, NY, as the USA’s first calfskin drumhead manufacturer. Changing hands and locations several times along the way, including a period of widely monikered “golden age” manufacturing from 1956–1965 at their famous Covington, Ohio-based location, Rogers has seen a stunning rebirth of some of their most iconic instruments and drum-making techniques in recent years. On a mission to pair the characterful and exquisite spirit of the past with the superior functionality of contemporary demands, Rogers’ unprecedented comeback has a captivating draw that drummers everywhere are aching to get in on.
