1. Product
Rogers is a brand established as early as in 1849, but its heyday came in the 1960s. It was then that the world fell in love with Dyna-Sonic snare drums (especially the chrome-over-brass), which are sought-after to this day on the aftermarket. Another hit from Rogers was the Swiv-o-Matic tom-mounting hardware ball and socket tilting mechanism, which was used by the likes of Ringo Starr of The Beatles, Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin.
According to Mateusz Wysocki's best knowledge, the Rogers Dyna-Sonic snare drum is from 1979. The shell is made from brass. The finish is Chrome Over Brass. This snare drum was made In USA. The Dyna-Sonic snare is a classic rock drum for discerning players, perfect for the studio and live performances.

3. Test and sound
When testing the Rogers Dyna-Sonic snare, we also used a Rogers Big R drum kit, Impression cymbals, EvansG2 Clear / WS Classic Clear heads on the toms, and Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear / Remo Powerstroke 3 Ebony with a Rogers logo on the bass drum.
Max first presented the sound of the snare produced by single strokes at different levels of dynamics, he then proceeded to playing rudiment-based patterns to finish off with a rhythm figure using all the kit elements as well as performing a groove.
The sound of this snare drum can be easily described as warm and dry. It does not choke at "atomic" strokes from behind the ear. There is a large range of sounds the Rogers Dyna-Sonic sounds good in. The snares sound very nice - they are nicely balanced and do not come to the fore. The rimshot sound is not too coarse either. Despite the fact that the shell is not particularly deep, there are no overtones here that often cause a terrible squeak in the ears after producing each rimshot. The rim click is very pleasant, quite high, with a significant admixture of the stick sound.
