Latest Drumming News
Folklore No More… After briefly appearing mid-twentieth century, then seemingly lost to the ages, Rogers’ fabled Purple Diamond Pearl drums return as the latest model of our distinguished Cleveland series.
Here’s your chance to own one of Rogers’ most sought-after styles in a special limited production run. Capture the Legend with the new Cleveland Purple Diamond Pearl drums.
Once Upon a Time…
Of the many Rogers’ stories that collectors and historians share, the rare and elusive Purple Diamond Pearl drums perhaps holds the greatest mystique. After briefly appearing on a handful of Rogers drums in 1957 (including artist Cozy Cole’s personal outfit), this fabled and sublime drum finish seemed to vanish into the annals of history. Now in a very special limited release, Rogers announces our new Cleveland Series, Purple Diamond Pearl drum collection.
