Rogers Swivo-Matic Clockface Butt-End – Chrome (Model 390RB)

Introducing the Rogers 390RB Swivo-Matic Clockface Butt-End, manufactured by Rogers and designed as an authentic replacement part for classic Swivo-Matic snare drum systems. This butt-end (backing plate) is specifically engineered to pair with the iconic clockface strainer, maintaining proper snare alignment and performance.

Featuring a distinctive angular, cut-away design, this butt-end ensures the snare cord or strap sits at the correct angle for even tension and precise response across the snare wires. This design is faithful to the original Rogers hardware, preserving both functionality and vintage aesthetic.

Constructed from a die-cast metal body with a chrome-plated finish, the 390RB offers durability and a classic look that matches vintage and modern Rogers drums alike.
