From somewhere around 72/73. All shells are international size, African mahogany and it's unusual in that it has an 18" deep 16" floor tom. Keith Moon played a kit in black with a couple of the deep floor toms but I haven't found many others.
As usual with Premier - great built quality, great sound, great looks but not expensive.
Beautiful kit !! love premiers !!
Another beauty.. Nice work Andrew... looks great with those stands too..
( and a word of advice.. it's time to lop the agapanthus) :o
Cheers

thanks guys. I'm a bit of a fan of this era Premier and those Lokfast stands.
John - good call on the agapanthus - I'll get onto that...eventually:)
There`s just something about black Premiers that really shows off those great lugs and very stylish in deed they were in those years.

Beautiful kit! I love the deep dish floor alongside the pancake tom! Lokfast galore too! & I looked up Agapanthus and learned something!
Oh the the most gorgeous stand design ever, the Lockfast. That kit looks mint.
Hey thanks. Up close it's not mint. The 13" has tom rash and there is plenty of wear and tear from years of play. It cleaned up very well though and it is now set up in the studio where it will get played several times a week.
Funky - ah yes, the old Agapanthus. It's quite pretty when in bloom (in an old lady sort of way) but it is officially classed as an environmental weed here. That said, the small patch you can see behind the drums has not changed much since 2008 and not spread - maybe because the dog enjoys lying all over it on hot days.

Fab looking kit, I agree black does give it that classy look. I just sold my B303 which is on VDF to a collector in USA. They are hard kits to come by especially in top condition. Cheers sean
