In September of 2016, a group of Rogers enthusiasts set up a Kickstarter campaign to purchase this drum for Jerry’s birthday.

This particular drum is stamped #1308 which puts it towards the later side of production in 1961. While it isn’t certain how many brass shells were produced by Gretsch prior to Rogers taking over manufacturing, it is estimated around 250-350. These early shells are identified by the lack of 'valleys' above and below the 7 line pattern around the center of the shell as seen on later dynasonic shells. The very first brass shells, which were intertwined with the production of wood dynasonics, were manufactured by the Gretsch Drum Company.

Roughly 80 pre-badge dynasonics were produced sometime around 1960 which all featured a paper tag on the interior of the drum shell. Inspiration of this heavily engineered strainer system can be seen today on Drum Workshop’s True Sonic snare drums. This strainer system pioneered the ability to adjust the horizontal tension of the snare strand independently from the vertical pressure of the snares against the resonant head. Rogers’ most iconic contribution to the history of drum innovation is without a doubt the dynasonic snare.
