This is the 'Brother Thread' to Fayray's Stereo Hi-Fi :)
Last Summer I got this Premier Hi-Fi Snare in Brushed Chrome.
Came with a '73 Kit in Silver Star from England and there was much more work to do than expected...
Seems someone messed around before with this Beauty :(
- Badge wasn't (and is still) not installed perfectly, but okay for me
- only 3 (!) Swivel Nuts were original,
- 4 different type of Screws for the Lugs
- Hoops where TF, I replaced them for Die Casts.
- Got the correct Screws and Swivel Nuts (Kudos to Fayray from New Zealand and to this Forum!),
- Cleaning, Pleasure as usual with those Premiers!flower
- New Heads and Snares. Remo CS Dot for a deep '70s/ '80s Sound which I'm gonna go for with this one.
Interesting Differences to Andrew's Snare are his 10 Lugs (mine has 8) and the Strainer. This one works nice, I have the other model on my wooden Hi-Fi, which is cool, too but sometimes I accidently hit the handle playing Traditional Grip in a low Position.
Thanks for Watching,
Lars
