Hi all !
I'm interested in buying one of these two drum sets,
one should be an Premier 605 outfit from 1976.
Birch or African Mahagony shells, what do you think ?
Seller said that the sizes are: 20,13,16.
And what about this Ludwig ?
I don't know which wood type is it or from which year the drum is.
Sizes are 22,12,13,16.
Help if you can please c:
Tnx.
pics in the attachment.
I like to comment the Premier only, as I'm no expert on Luddie's.
The Premier is no 606 Outfit, as that set contained two rack toms, two floor toms and two bass drums.
It could be a '202 Outfit' as the sizes are the same.
But I have my doubts that it is still in original condition: in fact I believe this is a re-wrapped/ sprayed finish: the inside of the bass drum hoop looks like glazed with the red colour, and I can't see the tom holding bracket on the bass drum (virgin bass drums - to my best knowledge - were not manufactured at that time). So how is the modification made? Furtheron the rim at the rack tom is in red = +1 for being sprayed.
Also please pay attention to the bass drum spurs: they seem to have different angles = are two different fixings built in?
Conclusion: I wouldn't buy it, as it appears to be modified and no longer genuine.

Ralf is a keen observer. I would take his advice. What bothers me is the fact that in the second picture, both the tenor an bass drums were simply plopped on broken concrete. Really good for the wrap and rim!
The Ludwig looks like a mid level Accent Custom..not sure which... think it's the Custom..not too bad a kit depending on how much their asking...
Sorry...the shells would be mahogany/juniper
Yes, that Premier is really strange one,
virgin bass drum, tom-tom without the tom mount, only rims.
I've seen a 605 outfit in the 1976 catalouge, but i don't know.

Are you sure ? Isn't Accent newer Ludwig line ?
This pictured Lud looks to me older, i thought maybe it's 20 or more years old.
thank you all for the infos, much appriciated ! c:
and yes, both drums are prices about 400-450$ (they are in Serbia).
so its probably best if i skip these two.

To many things look wrong to on on the Premier set could be a piece together set..The Ludwig is a newer set sometime after 2005...At 400-450.00 i would pass on both sets and wait for something better to come along...Mikey
