Vintage Roger bass drum pedal Last viewed: 5 hours ago

Can anyone give me a value on this Rogers Swiv-O-Matic BDP? It seems to have all the original parts and is in very good condition.

Thanks Mike T. How are these for playing? Are they in the same category as the Ludwig Speed King?

I have used the Swiv-O-Matic pedal, and it's a dream. A very well built and smooth pedal, no squeaks like a Speed King. IMO, miles ahead of the Speed King

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

I currently use a Pearl Eliminator and just bought the Rogers and also have a Speed King on the way. I am going to try both the Rogers and the Ludwig and see how they compare. I'm curious to see if the vintage pedals operate more to my liking than the more modern Pearl.

The Rogers has a totally different feel from the Speed King. Both are excellent.

I thought that the Rogers felt like it had more power, and the way it mounts on the hoop is either something you'll love or hate.

The Rogers has a lot of adjustments too - there's not many pedals that allow you to adjust the height like it does.

Yea it does have a lot of adjustments but I have heard people say that that's why they like the Speed King because it doesn't. I am excited to try both.

I play rogers drums and always have but i never got into their pedals i play with the ball of my foot and hit very hard i kept breaking the leather strap or it would stretch those were my issues the speed king when properly maintained does not squeek and the wide footboard is perfect for heavy hitters but i have to agree the rogers has a ton of adjustments you can even angle the footboard away from the drum...
