Hey Jcymbal,

That is really inspiring me to revisit my old Oly. You have done some nice work on an elegant drum.

In response to some of the comments:

I think the distinctions between Olympic and Premier are pretty important. With an Oly you don't get a back door Premier. Though Oly's share shells with Premier, they do not generally sport the Premier DC hoops or a fighting number of lugs/tensioners. I think you can get an Oly snare up to a fairly decent sound for a six lugger, but it won't be an imitation Premier.

BTW: anyone ever tripped across a Premier 14" 6 hole die cast? Be fun to try on an Oly but I don't know whether such a beast ever existed.

cheers,

Patrick
