Premier help needed please

Loading...

Era and make are correct. Yes, it is not the best examples of Premiers, except it does have good hardware. Even with the black interiors you can get a better sound out of it by coating the inside of the shell, on top of the black, with clear shellac. Also take a good look at the bearing edges, recutting them might be in order with an inside 45* and a slight 45* back cut on the outside, just enough to make a point but not super sharp. That will get you more tone, response and volume.

$200 was a good buy.

ps: Historical correction: Ringo had a beat up kit of Duroplast Premiers. He needed a better kit to take on the road, the only kit the music shop had at the time was a Ludwig, so Brian Epstein bought it. The rest is history.
