Read on for our no-fail coffee table guide.įor those that shun the notion that metallic be reserved for New Year’s Eve, there’s no better choice than a Regency coffee table. Give it fitting acclaim by opting for a vintage coffee table that pairs famously with your other furniture. It’s a place for drinks to rest post-clinks, and cheese boards and game boards to temporarily call home. So much more than a simple sofa anchor, it has evolved into the heart of a living room’s conversation pit. Whether you consider yourself a caffeine fiend or not, the coffee table has become a non-negotiable in the modern home.

HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT VINTAGE COFFEE TABLE Style a bit more Mod? We personally fall hard for Waterfall tables. Have a regal room with palace vibes? Try a brass-and-glass La Barge piece. While routinely used to anchor a sofa, we like to think of a vintage coffee or cocktail table as the sun around which the other pieces in a room orbit. Keep looking for those great attic finds.The one piece of furniture in your home working from dusk til dawn? Well, that would be the coffee table (also known as the cocktail table après 5 PM). I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday season. When I saw the gold ones - this set I'm showing you - I said “that's it!.” He was pleased that I didn't have to see them all. By this time I was getting concerned about my wife, and I began to think I better pick one or else I would lose my chance. “Do you want these?” “I would like to see the gold ones.” He packed everything back up and led me away to another room. We got to the blue ones, also in a little room in cases. My wife was still in the big drum room and I was going on the hunt through the house with the owner. I began to feel like if I wanted to go to the next one there was no turning back. He put the toms back in the case, put them back in the closet, and said, “Follow me” again.
I said, “You know, I would like to see the blue ones too”. Inside were the tom toms and they were very nice. He said, “Follow me” and we went downstairs and into a closet. I wanted to see them all, but I could tell he really didn't want to drag out all those drums, so I said “Let's see the white ones”.

The guy said he had the full kits to match each of these snares and everything is in pristine condition. White pearl, blue sparkle, gold sparkle, red sparkle, and I'm not sure about the last one. He took us to a cabinet where there were five Powertone snares displayed. I soon learned that none of these sets were for sale. There were red onyx, grey ripple, and other beautiful kits in there. To make a long story short, he took us to a room filled with beautiful Rogers drums. When my wife and I got to his home it was very upscale. We set up a time that I could come to see the drums and hopefully get a set. He said he had several Rogers sets and wanted to sell some of them. The drum salesman at the music store gave me the number of the man who was selling some Rogers drums. The factory was later moved to Fullerton, California. There is no difference in the quality of pre-CBS and post-CBS drums made in Ohio. The Dayton drums have grey speckled interiors. All these drums were made at Covington, Ohio. After CBS bought the company in 1966 warehousing was moved to Dayton. The Cleveland tag means the drums were warehoused and sold from Cleveland. The tags inside indicate that they are Holiday Model drums. That indicates that they are early 1960s. The interiors of the drums are painted solid grey. The bass drum is 20"X14", the floor tom is 16"X16", the ride tom is a 13"X9" and the snare is a matching 14"X5" Powertone. The floor tom has a factory extra knobby. The Swiv-o-matic tom mount is factory placed in the center of the bass drum.

The Beavertail lugs were a great improvement over the Bread and Butter lugs which would crack very easily. The shells are maple with reinforcement rings. There is a script badge on both sides of the mounted tom. I will tell you how I came to own this set after I describe them. By the time this featured drum set was made, Rogers drums were the most expensive of all their competitors. Rogers became the makers of some of the best drums ever made. In the beginning this company was a drum head manufacturer. I am always on the search for a nice Rogers set, and love the history of this great drum company.
Rogers drums are very cool and so collectible.
It's the Holiday season, and I have a great Holiday drum set to show you this month.
