The hottest mass produced 60s snare drum that has the vintage world buzzing is the wood shell Rogers Dyna-Sonic. Every month it seems that we hear of new record breaking prices. The latest high figure is $1,700, but we have heard of $2,500. That has not been substantiated.

The Dyna-Sonic is a 10 lug, five ply top of the line snare with a unique snare side frame. On the frame is a taut set of wires snares. The frame itself is raised and lowered by the strainer. The snares are never bent like the snares on conventional snare drums.

Rob Cook's new work, the Rogers Book, has lots of pictures of this flagship model. And I am so glad that the late Ben Strauss lived long enough to see the incredible popularity of the drum he helped to immortalize.
