nice score...i only purchased a late 60's premier a few months ago and just sold it :(....mrs is on maternity leave and we need the cash! i am so spewing it was a very nice sounding/looking kit...it was either that or the newer gretsch kit. my kit came with 2000 snare, 22, 13, 16 as well. the snare didnt have the original throw with dual snare wires, but it was a very nice sounding snare drum. i would of loved to have heard it with the original set up? enjoy your purchase and you will have lots of fun with it.

i cant wait for the mrs to be back at work next year, so i can track down another premier!

Those are really attractive drums. Blu shimmer is a fantastic finish in my opinion.

Finally finished this project. Getting some of the parts, particularly small stuff like washers and odd size lug screws has been a bit of a mission. All done now though.

Unfortunately the BD has lost its shimmer on the top due to years of sunlight and the chrome on the snare isn't the flashest but otherwise it's a nice kit and sounds really good too.

Man those are nice. Premier made great drums. Blue shimmer and Lokfast stands...yummmm

Really nice drums!! Love the color, great job you did. I really want a nice Premier kit one of these days!! :)

thanks guys. Tell you what though, these Premier kits use some interesting thread sizes on screws etc. There were some lug screws and sliding washers missing and this really dragged out the restoration. Something to consider when tackling one of these.

Nice.. Chrome looks exceptional in the pics,

Great work..

The chrome is excellent. Premier have a good rep when it comes to chrome.

Beautiful kit.

Yep, those threads can pull your hair out. Even here in old Europe it is difficult and costy to catch the matching screws (ebay UK is a good source).

The chrome was done by Rolls-Royce at that time, that's self-explaining, isn't it?
