This stunning Premier '54' model drum kit sounds as good as it looks!
Finished in a beautiful Blue Marine Pearl finish, this 1966 kit had thin shells made from 3-ply Finnish Birch, with Beech reinforcement rings. The toms are pre-international sizes, and have been fitted with brand new Remo Ambassador Coated heads.
Bass Drum: - 20x14" thin 3-ply Finnish Birch shell with re-rings - Looks to have been changed from a left to a right handed kit somewhere in it's life, and the holes have been filled (but still slightly visible). - There are 2 filled holes on either side of the bass drum, where the cymbal mounts would have been. - The bass drum feet have been messed around with, so there is some extra holes (see photos). - Chrome in good condition with some minor pitting. - Bottom 2 tension rods have been replaced as pervious ones snapped. - Fitted with a used Evans Clear EMAD batter and Premier Branded reso heads.
Rack Tom: - 12x8" Pre-international, thin 3-ply Finnish Birch shell with re-rings. - Missing internal dampener, the three screws holding the tom mount on are not original. - All original lugs, tension rods and hoops. - No extra holes. - Chrome in good condition with some minor pitting. - Fitted with Brand New Remo Ambassador Coated batter head and original reso head.
Floor Tom: - 16x16" Pre-international, thin 3-ply Finnish Birch shell with re-rings. - All original parts. - No extra holes. - Chrome in good condition with some minor pitting. - Fitted with Brand New Remo Ambassador Coated batter head and original reso head.
A cracking kit for the studio to get that lovely warm vintage sound that Ringo loved before turning to Ludwig! (This is the same sized kit in a different finish).
