COB This has the original cast ALUMINUM snare frame on the bottom in mint condition, every original piece except for the following: the drum is missing one lug boltfor head rings(ex to replace cheap), and on the clock face STRAINER, the lever that lifts snare up and down is missing.

there arent too many 4 digit Dynasonics out there for sale as far as I’ve seen, and this one is in very nice condition. My snare has the letter “D” under the tension knob on the rogers strainer lift, and the ROGERS name at an angle going upwards on the shell which dates it around 62-64 as far as I can see. These were outphased in 1963 by the beavertail lug, and continued throughout the entire production run.

Early 4 digit dynasonics had Bread and butter lugs. Rogers drums were always produced with a chrome over brass shell, without snare beds. These badges were in use until the end of American production, about 1985. In 1975, the Custom Built Dynasonic badge was replaced by the foil ROGERS badge referred to as the BIG R. Next came the 5 line shell also with strengthening beads in the upper and lower portion of the shell. The next batch had the bead top and bottom in the shell and 7 etched lines. Very early 4 digit serial numbered drums had a straight sided shell with seven etched lines. The Rogers Dynasonic was produced from 1961 continuously through about 1985 by the Rogers Drum Company USA. UPDATE- thanks all you collectors who sent me messages about this snare! I was a bit clueless as to year and worth. Heres some INFO I grabbed from an online source. Vintage Rogers 1962-1964? DYNASONIC snare drum, 4 digit low serial #5407.
