Hi, colleagues, please, I need your clear knowledge to identify a 18” bass drum, probably Premier or Beverley, 60s or 70s. I found it very cheap but It was not very well treated so I don´t know if it is worth to invest on it and try to restore it for me to play. If not I could sell it for spare parts.

1. Drum Shell Material -- Wood

2. Drum Finish -- Natural

3. Drum Badge -- Missing

3. Drum Dimensions -- Depth x Width (Bass Drum 14" x 18”)

4. Interior Finish -- Natural with re-rings

5. Hardware Configuration -- 8 Premier type L into lugs Beverley style, Premier #6158-22 lug. Hole spacing is about 29mm

I have read that these lugs were used in different series along the years.

Beverley bass drums End of 60s Early 70s

Premier 6000 Powerhouse bass drums 1975 -1977

Premier Projector bass drums and toms. Early 80s, after Soundwave.

7. Any defects, extra holes, finish problems, etc.

I found it without mounting plate for toms but came with the holes for the piece. Like a miracle, I have found an unbranded second hand piece that fits perfectly in the screws and tom arms holes.

Four Beverley lugs of total 16 are missing.

Bass drums legs are square, not round.

Original Heads. Broken. One white EverPlay Gold Logo on the resonator side and one Apollo on the batter side.

It has some cracks in some of the hardware lugs. They are superficial and only affecting to the outside ply.

Bearing edges are not in the best condition in some parts.

I attach some pics trying to clarify. I have more if you need.

Thanks for your help!

Have a nice day!
