Hi folks..!
Do you make an idea on how much money Roger spent (and keeps on spending)on his drum kits..? Wich one is (was) the most expensive...?
In my oppinion, the most expensive is the one he used in 77's concerts... but i don't really know, so i'm leavin' that to you... =D

I would have to say his '86 Kit b/c...he used triggers on them and he used a Roland Octapad that actually had no internal sound so it had to be fed through a module that actually created a sound...If u listen to Under Pressure from Wembley '86...he was hitting everything and it was creating a preprogrammed sound that him and his drum tech knew about.
The '77 kit had a lot of toms and even roto toms...but his '86 kit needed technology that was very new and expensive at the time...so that is why I think the '86 kit, though smaller was much more expensive!...Peace!!!

Yeah for sure...
Both triggers and mudules are so expensive...
But here in Brazil, the normal drums are more expensive than the electronic drums...
the cymbals are even more expensive...
Ludwig drums (like Roger's) are quite hard to find, and so are the Zildjian cymbals he uses...
Electronic drums are cheaper around here, so i thought his '77 drums would be more expensive...
After all, i want Roger's drums!!!!!!! =D

I read somewhere he had a snare drum worth like 9,000$ or something...
Probably the one he used in 76.
Think about it, he had the 2 small toms on the 10" tom. Then he had the other 2 toms. Then he had the floor toms which were 18" and 20" then the 12" and 13" toms over the floor toms. With the 26" bass.
Then add up the electics. Then add up the 7 cymbals which a lot were Paiste which are already expensive as it is.
Whew so yeah probably his 76-77 kit.

The toms that Roger was using in the latter 70's were expensive...but triggers and the octapad were definitely more expensive b/c they were had been in a few years of existence...So I do agree that maybe his acoustical drums were more expensive in 76-77...but overall his '86 kit was more...Peace!!!!

And don't forget the pile of cymbals he seems to keep beside his kit to throw at people eg Freddie, Spike, audience members with funny hats.

I guess i can answer this pretty well if you check my profile!
The kits are effectively more expensive each year as the price the companies charge seems to go up every twelve months!
For expample his ride cymbal is now £260, new but would have been about £50 back in the 70's
My estimate is the current kit costs approx £8,000
Bass drum is about £800-£900
Toms range from £200 - £450
The hardware is very expensive the ludwig boom stands are £89 each
Cymbals range from £180 17" crash to the Ride at £260, the hi hats are £250 approx and the stand £150, the bass pedal retails at £375 snare drum is £500
Then you have flight cases and mics!
Don't forget he will also have spares, with sticks at £11 per pair it gets expensive!
