Roger That!!
Wow, Do I remember the "memory lock" hardware system. They were so far ahead at the time...
I hate to tell you what I traded in about 10 years ago. I complete double bass 4 mounted toms "BIG R" Rogers set. Had the dynasonic snare and all memory lock hardware. Black and chrome, much like the picture above accept I had 2 24" bass drums. Monsters, I tell ya.
I even have some recordings of them if you'd like to hear them, ploughman.

Nice lookin set Ploughman , did you get the cymbals with it too?
great score Ploughman!
Is the memory lock that Bish said something about the hardware going inside the bass drum? That's something I've never seen before, nice score bro.

All the adjustable stands had that as well as the tom arms and hat stand.
Plus the tubing was huge which made the stands (even the bass drum spurs) super duty. And the tom mount on the bass drum was tube supported all the way across (through the middle of the bass drum) and connected to the opposite end of the bass drum.
The advertising for this stoutness was a picture of a gymnist performing a handstand on the installed tom mounts arms while in the bass drum. This was to prove that you won't ever cave in the bass drum due to too much mounted to the tom mount.
The Memory Lock system and heavy tubing sold me on the kit back in the mid 70's and I believe it was the first year for the Big R badging. I loved that kit. Had it for 20+ years. Still have the throne without any pitting or damage to the chrome base. I can't say the vinyl seat cover has held up as well.

That bass drum support tube made it possible to hang an entire field of toms on a single bass drum.... Rogers marketed a Studio X set back in the late 70s...... 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15........... all on the bass drum. I doubt very much is anyone played it that way. It looked awkward to me. The bass drum support tube does however keep your toms from flexing the shell mount, eliminates shell fatigue at the mount, and prevents the drum from going out of round. As for resonance........ yes, there is some loss, but..... to the human ear, it is really negligible.
This set is in great shape, it sounds fantastic. The bass needs a new batter head. I went to three stores over the weekend including GC......... not a single 18" BD head in the store. I will probably special order an Evans EQ1 for this.
