1st coffee all over the place at O dark 30 this morning, now Mt. Dew, someone going to start charging us soon, we're having way too much funLaughing H

So was this just a test?

Excuse me, but my point is that people don't seem to care about quality, only the name. The Signia line is heads above any DW kit I've seen. The quality and craftsmanship is second to none. DW on the other hand, while is a good drum, is way overated, like I said, they have good marketing. Premier is still around, they have been making quality drums since the 1920's and are still in business. Premier, unfortunately, suffers from poor marketing and have made some bad business decisions. If you're only buying a drum because of its name then you're cheating yourself, buy a drum because of the quality and sound. I don't dislike DW, I just know they are not the best drums on the market.

And you missed my point you , I've owned a premier kit, I now have a dw kit, they both have there place, and premier is not in business at this time they are restructuring as we speak to get a US distributor! And Now the real reason, Don't post a kit you don't have that is a catalog scan of the DW kit, also as far as sales go I would rather have a floor tom as most drummer agree, the premier kit has a hanging tom, YUCK!!! How about posting something on the forum beside sales and trade Ad's????

word to the wise.

"the worst thing you can do to someone..is ignore them"

just a thought.

Premier is still in business in Europe, I just went to their website, they even brough back the Genista line. I'll bet you've never owned a Premier Signia kit, for if you did, you would sell that DW. The hanging floor tom is not my favorire either, but it still sounds great and that was the big thing back in the 80's and 90's. I'm going to remedy that by adding legs to the tom or I may trade the 12x14 for a 16x16 if I can swing the deal. Keep your DW's, anyone can buy one, but the Premier Signia line is discontinued so it's makes them harder to find. The only reason I had tried to trade was because I thought maybe, with a great kit like this one, I could entice someone to trade a vintage Ludwig or Slingerland kit in white marine pearl. I've been after one for years, but they have eluded me or have been too pricy.

Please don't take this as an attack. I'm honestly curious about something.

You've posted lots of kits for sale or trade. How is it you've never just picked up a kit like you want? If you have a lot of kits, why not just sell a couple of them and get what you want?

Don't get me wrong, I'm on my own quests. But I don't have two or three different kits up for sale every week or three.

i don't know why you guys think I have more than one kit. I have one kit, the Premier Signia. I trade or sell drums, that's why it appears I have more than one. I've had tons of nice kits, but only on a few occasions have I had more than one at a time. I have been looking for a Ludwig or Slingerland white marine pearl for a long time, I either could not get the person to trade or I did not have the money. No big mystery, I just like to wheel and deal.

I can't see how anyone would come to that conclusion that you would only have one kit, when in your very heading it states DW drums but yet your trying to pawn off a premier kit??????????????????? have you ever thought about MAYBE Putting what your looking for in the post instead of this bait and switch crap!! Johnny I can tell you've never owned a business, if you did it went belly up!!!, here I'll write your copy for you, I have a premier kit I would like to trade for a WMP Ludwig, slingerland rogers etc wmp only no other color please!! give it a try????

Yeah, Mark, this cats a whiner from a way back. Goes by HOPPY over on DFO and same attitude there! Now let me hop back home, this thread is a gas!!flowers2
