Rogers · Rogers Powertone drum set · Around 1970
Rogers never sold a PowerTone kit in the 1960s the way it sold the PowerTone snare. That snare arrived in 1964, and the outfits of the decade paired it with Holiday drums. CBS bought Rogers in 1966 and moved production from Ohio to Fullerton, California, in 1969, and by the 1970 catalog the bass drums and toms themselves were listed as PowerTone. A matched set from those years is what this page means by a PowerTone kit. The Headliner was a 20-inch bass, 12 and 16-inch toms and a PowerTone metal snare, while the Starlighter went to a 22 and a 13 with a Dyna-Sonic snare and the Constellation had a T-bar tension rod on its bass drum. Hardware was still Swiv-O-Matic, with internal spurs and Knobby legs, and the catalog showed finishes from Pink Champagne to Blue Strata. Because the same drums carried the Holiday name a few years earlier, read the badge and hardware to place a kit. A set with the flatter Fullerton script badge on every drum and its Swiv-O-Matic parts in place is the one to buy.
Inside the shellRogers Powertone drum set
The 1970 catalog lists the bass drums and toms as PowerTone, where earlier catalogs call the same sizes Holiday. Vintage Drum Guide dates the flatter script badge to Fullerton drums of 1969/70–1975, after the regular Ohio script of 1961–1968/69. Swiv-O-Matic holders and spurs fit this period, and MemriLoc hardware with the square Big R badge means 1976 or later.
Swiv-O-Matic holders and spurs go missing, and bass drums pick up extra holes from later mounts. Drums from different years get sold together as one kit, which shows up as mismatched badges or wrap aging.
Buying guide
We'd start with the white 4-piece titled 1960s at $1,650 delivered with Best Offer, the cheaper of the two vintage PowerTone kits we found. With only two listings, the $1,750–2,025 delivered band is just these two asks, not a market read. Rogers only listed its kit drums as PowerTone from about 1970, so a kit titled 1960s may wear Holiday-era badges; ask for a photo of each badge, the Swiv-O-Matic holder and the bass drum spurs. The sunburst lacquer kit at $2,130 delivered is titled Used and Vintage Sunburst Lacquer, which reads like a finish name, and Rogers sells a current PowerTone line, so confirm the year and badge before paying a vintage price.

The lower delivered of the two kits, a white 4-piece titled 1960s at $1,650 delivered. A 1960s date would make these Holiday-era drums, so ask for badge photos and the drum sizes before you offer.

It's $100 under the band with Best Offer, from a seller with 100% feedback. The photo shows the toms mounted on the bass drum, so ask whether the holder is the original Swiv-O-Matic and whether the bass drum has extra holes.
