Probably Premier. I don't think Trixon was around at that point.

Good clue, I tried to see that badge on the tom when I expanded it, But it stays blurry and it's not square, but then it's clear that is a Premier stand the cymbal is on.

Almost definite a premier kit. Looking at lugs.

My educated guess would be that's it is a Premier...simply because they would be easy to find in the London area at the time.

It's a poorly done colorization of a black and white photo. Pete played a set of WMP Premiers and that's likely what this kit is. The poor colorization makes the details of the hardware difficult to make out.

Here's the original and here's Pete's Premier kit.

I think you're right, The Bass amp is so much darker in the black and white pic, but comes out the same color. it makes the BD look conical and screws up the lug count on the tom.

Pete looks like a mannequin in that colorized version. Very unsettling.

I'm looking at the covering on the bass drum near the back hoop of the bass drum. In the enlarged picture the covering looks like it might be fabric.

Am I imagining that?


1971 Ludwig Rock Duo set in Blue Oyster Pearl
early Mapex dual bass drum Saturn kit
1964 Leedy Ray  Mosca kit in Blue Sparkle
1959 Slingerland Super Gene Krupa snare in WMP
1968 Slingerland Hollywood Ace Snare Drum
1969 and 1977 Ludwig 400 Supraphonic snares
1965 Acrolite snare
Ludwig Coliseum snare
'68 Rogers Dynasonic snare
Pearl free floating piccolo snare
13" Mapex piccolo snare
6.5" deep Mapex steel snare
Mapex 6.5" Brass snare
I know there's more snares than that.
UFIP cymbals / Avedis Zildjians
Ghost pedals or Tama King Beats
