As you have done a ton of great informative videos on the history of Rogers Drums, it would be nice to see a comparison with their current range of drums and hardware completing the evolutionary cycle to present

I deal with the Covington era only. I know nothing about the current "Rogers" brand. Have no interest in it. Thanks so much for watching.

Great information and thanks for taking your own gear apart to investigate. Thanks to you I knew about those set screws before I purchased my first swivo matic tom arm.

[@Rogersdrumvideos]

Thank you brother. Always great to get your thoughts on these projects.

I loved swervomatic foot pedal and I have six tilters. Love them!! Oh. Rumor has it that Buddy Rich used his swervomatic bass pedal until he died! Sponsored by Ludwig? Sponsored by fibes or Slingerland?? Did,nt matter Buddy used the swervomatic foot pedal. Ohh and John Bonham hada bunch of tilters !he loved those. I used a cymbal stand for my ride with one tilters to 90 degrees and another to bring it vertical for my ride cymbal! It off set the center to a more comfortable position for me! I used that set up for 30 years!

Well done

Excellent Anthony! While I am definitely not a Rogers buff. I do appreciate them even more now that I have discovered your fine Channel. Just dont understand the under value of these great drums. They are relatively cheap comparatively up against Camco and others. Leedy is another that has not quite taken hold, and is under appreciated. Cheers brother, Bruce

I use a Swivomatic on my Neil Peart replica to hold my 12” closed tom.

F ing genius

[@williamshine5684]

Is there a good way to loosen a collect on a tom without breaking the arms off? New to this Rogers drum stuff. I am impressed with the drums but I am not liking the Swivomatic set up. Thanks, Bill

So is it possible the ball,is round, but the joint(the cage), is egg shaped?

[@drs-Rigo-Reus]

'Around for centuries'.... lol nothing US was there for centuries.

[@Rogersdrumvideos]

He's talking about the ball and socket joint Nothing to do with the US Which has literally been around since the inception of mammals with appendage and has been used on devices and came to prominence in dawn the automotive industry
