nice. what are the sizes? It looks like either a B202 or a B101/111 depending on the sizes. 101/111 is 20/12/14 (B101 has a 22" bass) and the 202 is 20/12 or 13/16 (B202 has 22" Bass). The hanging tom looks like it might be a 14" though? What wood are the shells made of? They will be either birch or mahogany (darker wood). Mahogany would put them in the early 70s. It is possible that the shells might be a mixture of some birch and some mahogany so need to check them all

The Slingerland snare is from the 60s. Possibly a Hollywood Ace but more photos needed.

There were no series back then, simply Premier drums. - the various model descriptions purely refer to the sizes in a particular configuration.

As Andrew said look if its birch or African Mahogany, my bet is Mahogany with the 5 digit serial numbers on the badges

Good luck getting an exact year/date, but I'd say earlier 70's, based on tom mount, hardware, etc. Like others have said, knowing the wood type helps as well.

Enjoy!

Edit: Just noticed you have a close up picture of a serial number (which are generally useless on Premier kits, for dating). One of the knowledgeable people from a Premier Facebook group mentioned that 5 digit serial numbers would place it closer to mid 70's...4 digits closer to early 70's. Not sure if that's 100% true or not. I highly recommend posting this question/pictures on this Premier FG group's page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PremierDrumsandPercussion/?ref=bookmarks

LOTS of experts on there, including ex Premier employees.

Thanks for the responses guys. They appear to be the African Mahogany with three plys and rings, also sizes are 22x14 , 12x8 , and 14x14 ....I will post some more pics later today...

Cool. So you have a B111 http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/premier_drumsets/1973-premier-catalog-8.jpg

Nice to have the 14" floor tom as they are definitely not so common compared to the 16"

More pics of Slingerland Snare Drum.... also trying to determine its model and Age.....After Looking at the Badge style 1962-70.....and Strainer style 63-78.... and serial number placement on Dr Carl J Wenk timeline he posted on The History of Slingerland......It looks like a 1966 or so ( i will also check the inside to see wood and finish to confirm those)....But how do i determine the model ??[IMG]https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/28056463_1870035689698029_108346136478884275_n.jpg?oh=cdbceee653ae3d4972b471e3d4562772&oe=5AFFB876[/IMG]

Its looking like its a Hollywood Ace.....I need to check the plys i quess because it has eight lugs so not a student, and no Radio King strainer or Artist strainer, as those would be solid shells as well, so ill keep digging.... any info appreciated.

Cool....I have confirmed 1965 Hollywood Ace !! I actually found an old" For Sale" AD with MY DRUMS IN IT !! where the guy who I bought it from had bought the kit from....

and he had more info Listed...The Old Interweb can be pretty cool !!
