Howdy All! Here's my YT highlight video of my latest Step by Step drum tuning lesson "PowerTone/UV2 TomTuning Tutorial" in which I take you STEP BY STEP from ground to sound through three great tom tuning intervals for a 12"/14" tom setup while maintaining a Perfect 4th interval BETWEEN the toms at all tunings.

I cannot state enough how much fun I had making this review, demo, & tuning tutorial video featuring the newly re-issued Rogers PowerTone Drum Set in the 12″ x 20″ Bass Drum, 14″ x 14″ Floor Tom, & 7″ x 12″ Tom Shell Pack. What an incredible sounding, & easy to tune set of drums. The hardware, & build on this kit is absolutely meticulous. The new Ultra-Matic Low Mass Tom mount (which works with old Rogers mounts) allowed this tom to sustain forever. No choking. The two tone Gold/Silver sparkle Lacquer Finish is absolutely eye-popping, & the interior stain makes these drums as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.
What really blew me away about these drums was the sound. Deep, thick, rich, and powerful due to the 5 ply shells (w/ 2ply rerings), & the unique laminating process they used to make a classic design take on a more modern sound. Hence you get all the tone, power, & heft of the classic PowerTone Kits of the late 60's/early 70's, but with a bit more of a modern punch. Even with this big sound, they are still amazing for Jazz drumming as well as Rock, Country, Blues, & R & B music.
What brought the sound to life for me was being able to easily tune through 3 great intervals for the toms to create 3 unique sounds that still had the incredible tone of these drums at the forefront. Especially as I went with a bit higher tunings on these toms to increase the attack/presence of the toms. Although I will say by using my fave 2 ply tom head on the market, Evans' UV2, I had more than enough body, & attack to go around.
Although I tune the kick, & snare in other videos, I will say both drums are simply incredible. The 20" has the body, and depth of tone that you get in a 22" Bass Drum, but with the attack, & punch of a 20" bass drum. Absolutely SICK KICK. The snare drum sounds equally as amazing over a broad range of tunings making it an almost obligatory addition if you are thinking about getting this kit.
