Hello from the mitten!!
Hello all! Just signed up today! I've owned this Rogers kit since the middle to late 90's. Trying to establish year or if this is a Holiday series kit or the Londoner model.
A local custom drum shop offered to exchange a new kit for my Rogers and the offer was declined. Whether it's worth much or not, I really dig em. I recored my last studio album with them and they sounded great.

Anyone have any ideas on year or if they're worth anything?

Re: Hello from the mitten!!
Hi Brandon: welcome to ROF! Took a look at your drumset. Very nice, bona-fide Cleveland Holiday set with superb Powertone snare. After a bit of research, would say you've got a 1965 set (snare, 13" tom, bass) with a possible 1966 16"tom. Could definitely been sold as a set in 1966. The color is either a highly-desireable Pink Champagne Pearl, available 1964-1967 or a faded Silver Sparkle. Usually the wrap under the hoop is unfaded and will let you know the original color. You were wise to hang onto this vintage set. Its value is in the rich, warm sound of a byegone era in American drum making. You own "the Cadillac of drums"! Others more knowledgeable than I can add further details. Happy drumming!
