Hi Fellow Vintage Drum Forum Junkies!
I have a Premier #0085, 15in, 10 lug marching snare that im trying to get some info on, it was built at the same time as the #0084 and #0081 models were built, but i cant find any reliable images, what year these were made, etc.
If anyone has any info on this series of snare drum i would be eternally thankful, im getting tired of saying 'I Don't Know' every time someone asks me about my drum lol. Cheers.

It would look like the 84 which is the 14". 85 is the number for the 15".
84 is a 10 lug (toe-nail), die cast aluminum hoops, gated throw, 3 part adjustable wires, standard colors were white, black, red and chrome. Made 1974 to 82ish.
You the Man! Thanks a ton for the info.
My other issue is, that i'm missing some of the hardware that goes to this drum, and i can't find any pics of this 84/85 snare so i can figure out what i need to track down in order to do some restoration to it? Anyone got any images or anything i can use to help with the restore?
As always, Thanks a TON in Advance!
