No serials and the pre-int 12'' tom is birch inside, the floor and bass drum are mahagony:
60's Premier 3 pc in black pearl
My Premiers toms are birch and floor tom Mahogany. What's going on with that ?
fayray was telling me that my set is a mash up from around their pre-international shells to international sizes. Everything matches up on this 3 piece so I don't think someone substituted the ride tom.
I have another Premier kit that is even more thrown together than this one. Olympic floor, bass and snare drum with a perfectly matching -wrap wise- Premier 13x8 ride tom all in gold sparkle. Same style bass to tom mounting with no signs of any weird adaptations. That kit is all birch except the snare is mahagony.
My Oyster kit was Birch 20 and 12.......FT mahogany.....
looking good
"The kit is missing 1 rubber foot for the floor tom legs, 2 bass drum claws, 1 bass drum rod and 8 tension washers. Had to substitute with 2 similar claws and 1 American style T rod for the bass drum and scrounged up some not very correct tension screw washers."
I'd complain about that... Try the seller on a 16 buck refund..

Amazed at what people will donate to charity, but happy they do! :)
Finally got the bass drum hardware done, now to final assembly stage:
All done except maybe touching up the bass drum hoops with black paint at some point:
Eric those are stellar!! Such a great deal you got on them too. All around goodness. You did a fantastic job on them. Premier drums from that era are just so cool. I like how some of the shells only use 1 screw to attach the lug. Thanks for sharing them with us......time to enjoy them.....happy drumming.
Keep on Pl
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.
