English Rogers being played.


Thought it would be nice to have somewhere to put some photos of these drums being played as photos of these drums aren't that common.

Thanks to MikeJTone for putting me on to the website where these came from.

Thanks for all those Gary, I wonder what ever happened to "Beat Instrumental Monthly?"

Re: English Rogers being played.


Probably only of interest to me, but I really like this photo, very English 1960's. Came across it on the net. A Liverpool drummer called Dave Irving. A founder member of Supercharge, a 70s Liverpool group still going in Germany apparently.

"American musical instrument catalogues were killers and must have broken a few parents’ wallets. So after many a long argument with me mom(sorry Mom) I finally persuaded her to buy me my first kit at age 16. It was a hybrid from Frank Hessy's would you believe. A mixture of Broadway and Ajax drums with Krut (yes Krut) cymbals, and cost 21 quid. Yikes! I wish they cost that now. I banged away in the front room for hours....."

This is English Rogers in Mardi Gras. Look under the cupboard to the left. Mardi Gras snare.

Strange connections here. I grew up just a few miles from Dave. I auditioned for Supercharge in the late 70s (and they didn't want me ???????????!!!). I knew one or two of the people Dave mentions in his blog.

That is the exact same snare stand I have with my English Rogers. Can be sure now that they came with English Rogers.
