Question concerning elderly Premier bass drum

Posts: 1432 Threads: 110

Hello,

I must admit that I've become disloyal to my two STAR sets and just bought a Premier's '303 Outfit' in the unbelievable grey shimmer finish. Pics are to come if all is completed.

Concerning the bass drum claws I have a question to the Premier freaks:

if I tighten the head with the L-arm tension rods, in the very last turnings the L-arm rod snaps into it's claw (which has a deepening there). Was it Premier's intention to fix the rod against loosening? Or is there just missing a washer to keep it in distance from the claw? (All rods at my bass drum have no washer.)

Ralf

I had a set with these, and never encountered any locking, so perhaps not.

Hey Ralf, On the Premier T-rods and claws--Premier had a flat washer made of metal--Not like the wahers you would fine on the toms a bigger one to fit into the claw...I have used plastic washers that are thin to fix into the claw ...Mikey
