Hard to find a vintage Premier in those forever-desirable sizes. Go for it! Super nice.

Looks like an early 70's kit with that tom mount and those pointy floor tom lugs.

I'm looking through catalogues & that style of tom mount appeared in the early 70's, but those style of bass drum spurs don't seem to appear before 1978. Could it be the 201 model from '78? I know i've never been disappointed by Premiers in general and these are good years for the company. If they are to play I say go for it if the price is right. They have a tendency to have low resell value, so if they are to flip that is something to think about. AS a players kit: Hell yes!

10 lug Elite bass drum is the give away - the bass drums were 8 lug up till the Elite came out 77-ish.
