Hey Guys,
I have interest in this kit but I am not a Premier expert.
The add says it is a Premier 70's Elite. Does this look right to you?
The sizes are 13, 14, 16, 22 (no snare).
Would this be beech/birch or do you think it could be mahogany? Looking at the floor tom, re-rings can be seen.
Any thoughts on these kits in general?
The rims should be die cast right?
The color isn't the greatest but maybe a good candidate for a wrap at the right price?
Thanks!
It's not an Elite - they had 10 lug bass drums
From the pics it does look to be Birch
Looks like a B304 in Poly gold
I'm no expert on Premier but I've heard that their drums sizes, due to it being English, are sometimes odd due the different measuring systems used - so their 12" could be slightly smaller. This could possibly pose an issue when it comes to heads. just m2cw

They were pre-international in sizes up to '68. You can find some 'transition' kits with mixed tom sizes after this for a couple of years but the kit in question is mid 70's so all standard sizes

Thanks Dukekamaya for clearing that up. Where would you find those odd-size heads for pre-68 kits? Do the big co's manufacture them?
Just to confirm Remo do make all the pre international heads for a premier kit. So get out there and buy those premier drums.
