Well, I've been asked to do something like that before but I simply don't have the time.

I spend my time playing my jazz gigs, writing and arranging music, teaching ensembles and giving private instruction. I'm getting a new degree in musical performance starting this fall and I still have to find some time to ride my bicycle and be with my girlfriend... I wish my days would have something like 48 hours then I could write a book! :D

I'm sure someone is coming out with such a book pretty soon. And I'll buy it for sure!

Thanks!

Screw writing a book.. I wish i had that much time for drums and music!! I wish I started playing before i graduated high school and got married(love being married by the way) but i would have done things different and made music a bigger part of my life. I still teach one day a week at the local music store and play out when i can, but I just can't seem to get enough!!!!

I wish I had started earlier too but thank you for putting it in a new perspective.

Thanks!

It wasn't really intended to be to philosophical. Just saying music is a gift and a passion that few people have the privelege of experiencing, let alone making a career out of(it's getting harder and harder to do). I try to fit in as much and as often as i can and count that a blessing!!D' Drummer

I LOVE old Premier kits. Those are real show stoppers! Great work. They just look like they'd be so fun to play. The old Premiers are just top-notch drums.

Jcymbal,

Did you reuse the grommets when you re-attached the Premier badges or did you get new ones? If they are new where did you get them and what size are they? I have recovered a 1958 Premier and have been waiting to put the badges back on but can not find the correct grommet for them. Please advise and WOW does that kit look amazing!!!!Cool1

Just came across your photo diary of the red be-bop kit. Very sexy!!

Thanks for posting this and your other Vintage Premier stuff JC.

Bump for a beautiful restoration.
