It will be from the 1987-1992 period when Yamaha owned the Premier factory in England in order to have a manufacturing base in Europe. Very similar to the A/XPK Premier kits of the same time.

I think these drums will only realistically have value to a collector or someone looking to expand/complete a kit, they don't fetch astounding prices in the UK, so don't order the new car just yet.

Thanks for your kind words about my playing! It doesn't happen that often!! The kit I used on 'Snakido' was an Eddie Ryan kit and a Premier HR9 snare, they really record well!

I like the sound of your Luddys, I've only ever owned one Luddy myself, a keystone 4-pce in 1980, as ever, I wish I'd not sold it!!!

Keep on Pl
