This particular kit has hardly been used from new. It was bought in 1982. As you know the MK2 came out 1982-85 then premier stopped production of the soundwave. The sizes are 22x14..13x9..14x10..16x16. Also the shells were made slightly under sized thet was the reason for raising the lugs off the shell. They are all birch with beech re rings. The condition is spot less. Only wear was on the bass drum batter head where some of the black donut had come away. Since the pics ive put a new beater pad on this head. All other heads are original. The kit was one of my dads kits he decided to let go. He ordered this back in the day from premier plus the finish was a special order. He mainly bought it for a couple of big shows then mid 90's never used it again. He plays smaller venues now so uses smaller kits etc. He still loves his playing at the age of 79.

Sweet! Love the paneled decor as well! Goes well with the set!! When I think of Premier, I always think of Keith Moon.......
Beautiful set!
What a cool, and beautiful, kit! Premier was making great drums, with excellent shells and, of course, their world-famous "diamond-chrome" plating!

I really like those drums! Those tom mounts are boat anchors, but I like the way they look, and the shape of the main tube is a genius way to keep the whole tom assembly from twisting.
