Rogers is an American drum company with roots dating back to 1849, when Irish immigrant Joseph Rogers Sr. began producing calfskin drumheads in New Jersey. The brand transitioned into full drum manufacturing in the 1930s under Cleveland S. Rogers, and reached its peak during the "Covington Era" from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s after Henry Grossman acquired the company and moved operations to Covington, Ohio. The brand was later passed through CBS, Brook Mays, and Yamaha, before being relaunched as Rogers Drums USA.
Rogers is best known for the Dyna-Sonic snare drum, introduced during the Covington era and recognized for its floating snare cradle, "Clock Face" double-rail strainer, and "Bread and Butter" lugs. Other notable products include the Powertone snare drums, the Holiday series of toms and bass drums, and the Swiv-O-Matic ball-and-socket tom-mounting hardware, which became influential enough that drummers from competing brands adopted it on their kits.
The brand has long been associated with big band, swing, and jazz drumming, with signature kits historically built for players such as Buddy Rich, Cozy Cole, and Louis Bellson. Rogers' vintage kits remain highly collectible, and the modern Rogers Drums USA lineup continues to produce reissues and custom builds rooted in those classic designs.
Rogers has 46 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Snare Drums, Drum Sets, and Drums. Their gear is featured by 20 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Darren King, Steve Gallagher, and Neil Peart. Rogers's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
