These are Premier Club from the 1980s with mostly correct parts

see the catalogue on www.drumarchive.com

I'm not a Premier expert by far, but looking at the pictures, it seems to me that the drums are un-wrapped, stained in some amber stain and then lauquered or oiled. In other words: not a catalogue finish.

Thank you guys! So this is a Club from the 1980s but off-wrap. Cheers! If its a "Club" should not this be mentioned separately under the Premier logo?

There is a natural wood finish noted in the catalog - the "Club" labels may not have been on exported drums as they may have had a different branding - are these in the USA?

Thanks David...No. They are in Europe.....which catalog you have with the natural wood finish?

The reason I say it is because of the slight texture I see in the wood. I've un-wrapped some Premier (and Beverley and Olympic) shell and they all had that vertically lined slight texture.

I recon that if they produced natural finishes, they would sand the drums smooth, something that is not necessary when you're planning to wrap a drum.

But, hey, as I said, I'm not an expert.

If you're on facebook, many of the Premier 'gurus' and resto experts as well as former employees are in this group

I also think its a Club ('80/81) with the wrap removed.

There was a natural wood finish "khaya'
