Vintage Rogers
What is a good drum set to buy for Jazz AND rock?
I have it narrowed down to some vintage kits:
-Rogers Londoner XP8
-A 1970’s maple Slingerland
I have all the hardware and most of the cymbals. I’m looking from something around $1000. Over the past few years my gigs have been more and more mixed between jazz and rock instead of just rock.
These are two good sets for jazz, though I somewhat agree with another answer that the sticks are very important. Many jazz drummers I know have changed to multi-rod type strikers, especially with electronic kits. I use many different size, weight and style sticks. Anyhow, that’s another question.
I use Rodgers vintage for most of my gigs, jazz and rock. But the Slingerland maplewood has been a selection by many jazz drummers. Either kit would work for any type of music. Just use bigger, heavier sticks for most rock gigs. This is a generalization, but most rock kits use bigger drums and are tuned lower in pitch. This generally gives penetration through the ensuing sound wall of electronic guitars. But many jazz drummers (Tony Williams, Alphonse Mouzon, e.g.) like this penetration also. It depends upon the group and the location.
