Question about old premier bass drum

Posts: 85 Threads: 23

Well hello everyone. I used to own this odd premier drum.. I bought it from a UK collecter.. The measures were 20X11, the 70's tom holder was not original, but the legs and cymbalholder looked like they were original and there were no signs that this was a shortened 20X14... For some time I never used it and I sold it to finance other projects.. I kinda regret this today as I miss the drum..

Ive been looking almost daily at ebay for a similair one without any succes..

So I'll ask for your help..

it meassures 20X11, the catalogue size might be 20X12

it's a 3 ply with reinforcement rings, probably birch

Is this a one-off? Or a modified one? Is it a catalogue size?

I have an old Broadway bass drum of that size, so they're not unheard of, but it does seem an unusual size for Premier. From what you say about the wood and the lugs on the pic it could be from 1960's?
