Hi there everyone, new on here and will be looking to post questions, pictures etc in due course. From the UK, mainly jazz orientated, started at school in the late 50's! First band had Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) as our lead guitarist/singer aged 14. Playing skiffle and pop of the day--Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee etc.

Now living in Spain and not playing enough!

Own----a late 40's early 50's Premier white duroplastic

a 70's black Premier

and possibly the mystery kit, a 70's? Arbiter badged, Made in Japan in red sparkle.

Happy vintage drums to all

Will be posting soon

PB

Welcome! Nice to have you here. Looking forward to seeing your kits - it sounds like an interesting collection. Richard Wright, eh? You never know if one of your basement jam-mates is the next star... God bless his soul.

Welcome to the forum! Alot of good guys, great information and knowledge on here. Do you have any early photos of Richard? I am a HUGE Floyd fan and have always loved Richard's musicianship!
