WE LOVE DRUMS
and the drummers who play them!
Dave Clark LONDONER
“I Like It Like That,” says Dave Clark about his new Rogers outfit. Here’s the way to bold resonant drive and up tempo splashes of sound. This “Dave Clark sound” makes the LONDONER the accepted standard among today’s “mod music makers.”  You’ll LIKE IT LIKE THAT, too!
Up for sale is a beautiful Vintage 5-piece Rogers Blue Onyx Pearl Londoner Drum Set featuring a 20” Bass Drum, 16” Floor Tom, 13” Tom Tom, 12” Tom Tom, with a 5 x 14 Powertone snare drum. This set looks great and sounds even better!
The Dave Clark Londoner first premiered in the1967 Rogers Catalog. This classic Londoner kit, in quintessential Rogers fashion, hails from both Cleveland, Ohio and Fullerton, California where Rogers moved in 1969.
This hallmark Rogers set is in excellent condition. Since Rogers manufactured the drums at different times and in different locations, there is some slight variation in color tone between the Cleveland and the Fullerton drum wraps.
Nothing says 1960s like Rogers Blue Onyx. The blue onyx pearl wraps have a deep and animated pattern with beautiful high luster, and are in very good condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with their age. The chrome lugs glisten and are remarkably well-preserved.
The swivomatic hardware and triple-flanged hoops, as well as the shell interior mounting screws and bolts, are all original and show very few signs of wear consistent with their age. All components are fully functional. Original center assembly of dual tom tom holder, bass drum spurs, and floor tom legs are included.
The shells are in round and the reinforcement rings are in excellent condition. The bearing edges are original and true. They are in impeccable condition—no chips or dents, remarkably smooth and well-preserved for a drum set of this era—and they produce impeccable sound.
This vintage Rogers drum kit sounds amazing with both vintage and modern drumheads—from calfskin to mylar to kangaroo. Because the player’s choice of heads is so particular, set in a universe of choices, pictured drumheads are NOT included in the sale, with the exception of the snare-side snare drum head and the Front and Batter-side Bass Drumheads.
This authentic 1960s Vintage Rogers Drum Set exemplifies superior Rogers craftsmanship of the era and delivers the deep, warm, resonant tones, as well as the powerful projection, that defined a decade.

Here’s what Rogers had to say about…
Rogers PowerTone Bass Drums:
The group’s heartbeat. Deep, resonant rock tone. Built-in long life. Commanding appearance. Superior workmanship. Dual row of self-adjusting lugs. Chrome-plated fittings. Cross-laminated maple shell with maple reinforcing rings. Separate tension, naturally. Like all Rogers bass drums, cold-head construction tension rods keep the handle and rod from separating. Nobody else can make that statement. That’s why Rogers is different.
Rogers HOLIDAY TOM-TOMS:
Made with the same care and attention to musical sound as Rogers snare drums. Because of unique acoustic design innovations, you get live musical sound with total projection. Each tom-tom features triple flange hoops, deluxe chrome fittings, and separate tension.
