Just want to revive this thread to say that myself and a few other Rogers enthusiasts/historians have hired a wood DNA specials and expert in microscopic wood identification to get to the bottom of what the shell composition actually is. The results are in from the samples we sent early 60s 3...

Thats a beautiful first gen 4403 stand made for Rogers by Walberg & Auge. Very valuable. The 4402 is also first gen. If the rest of the drums date to the 7 line they are 64 indeed. Covington beauties
