(bear in mind that i copied the description straight from ebay)

I am selling this great drum kit, because I just don't play it anymore.

You're bidding on a Premier 303 kit which the research i've done is older than 1970.

It's in reasonably condition considering its age, and has been restored to some degree.

The sizes for the drums are as follows, Snare: 14", Toms: 12", 14" and 16", Kick: 20"

The snare, 12" rack tom and bass drum shells are blonde natural birch (I presume) and the 14" rack tom and the floor tom shells are mahogany (as far as i know).

The research that i've done leads me to believe that the 14" rack tom and the floor tom are newer than the other drums, but apparently Premier at one point started using all their old parts to make new kits, and someone suggested that this might be one of those kits, a 'Frankenstein' drum kit if you will.

Most of the hardware is original (cymbal stands, throne, rack tom mounts, snare stand) I also should have the original bass pedal and hi hat stand about somewhere.

I have the original cases for the drums, which are made out of a tough navy blue plastic, the leather straps on which have deteriorated alot though.

There are new Evans bashers on everything and new Evans reverbs on the floor tom and the two rack toms.

There is some work that needs doing i.e. a few nuts, bolts, screws, washers need replacing and maybe some aesthetic work.

It is in a black pearl finish (K in the premier colour catalogue) which is original.

The bass and snare drums have original Everplay Extra reverb skins.

If you wish to come and view the kit (which would be REALLY good as the photos don't do it any justice) feel free to contact me, and we can arrange a viewing (or rather, playing...).

The snare drum is sounding and feeling really great at the moment, and it is genuinely a shame to let this kit go. The bass drum is in desperate need of some damping: a pillow or an old duvet would do.

I would prefer the kit to be picked up by the buyer, but we CAN arrange to deliver (or meet halfway), as long as I don't have to go much further than 30 miles from Hereford, for a fee of £20-40, depending on how far I'd have to go.

Preferably, payment would be made in cash upon collection/delivery, otherwise paypal will rip me off...

This is a great purchase for a premier collector or just someone who loves the rich sound of vintage drums. It's clique but, they don't make 'em like they used to!

Happy bidding,
