All,

I have a complete Premier Kit dating from 1963 that needs a couple repairs but is otherwise in nearly perfect condition. The only issues are 1) the hi-hat spring needs replacement and 2) the front hoop on the 22' bass drum needs to be stripped and repainted and the black pearl insert reattached. Does anyone know a competent trustworthy drum restorer who could do this for me?

I would also like to source a replacement front head for the bass drum with the Premier logo as the 50 year old original is looking a little tired. Once fully restored, I intend to sell it. Includes a complete set of 50-year old US-made Zildjain cymbals and even the original cloth cases! This kit was played gently by my Dad while listening to Ahmad Jamal albums and never taken out on a gig; so it really looks like it came from a time capsule!

Any advice on a proper repair person would be greatly appreciated.
