Edit from Not So Modern Drummer Magazine 2017…..
Made in Fullerton, CA USA
Has all maple 8 ply shells with clear interiors and no reinforcement rings.
These were called XP-8 series because of the shells.
Information from a Rogers discussion forum, “XP-8s have 8-ply rock maple shells and were made from 1979 up until the demise of Rogers in 1984.
Excellent quality and comparable to modern day DWs but can be had at a fraction of the cost.
Memriloc hardware is strong and sturdy and ensures that they’ll set up exactly the same every time – a real time saver.
Battleship tough and built to last. XP-8s are some of the best drums Rogers ever produced.”
Sound amazing, as one would expect, and Rogers drums lovers often say this series was as good or better than anything Rogers ever produced.
Drum sizes are:
22 x 18” bass drum
12 x 12” mounted tom
14 x 14” floor tom
18 x 16” floor tom
This is a player’s kit, and sold as is.
The 12 is in nice condition for its age, with the usual scratches from previous use, as is common.
The 22, 14 and 18 have usual scratches, with areas of grainy textures in the finish and some fading, not affecting sound quality.
Used and in very good condition for its age. [DK 1283]
My price is just $1450 for 4 drums, legs, and tom arm
This price is firm.
