I bought this Rogers snare bed to overhaul and restore and Rogers Dyna-Sonic 14x5 snare that I have owned for twenty years. When I bought the snare the original clock face strainer and snare beds were already missing. Together with the clock face strainer, this Rogers snare bed have vastly improved the sound--the snare sounds much fuller, punchier and has much better tone than before! In my opinion, this snare bed is the secret sauce behind the Rogers Dyna-Sonic snare sound, it's a very important factor.
I am so happy that the new owners are respecting the Rogers legacy and have recommenced with production of spare parts with the same quality as before.
