Premier ID help

I'd say early 70s, probably african mahogany shells. looks like somebody put a funky tom mount on there, but i can;t tell if has been drilled or not. Not original though. I cant tell from the picture if the tension rods are slotted. this would be a helpful period indicator. Also the mounted tom looks to have the original diecast hoops but the floor hoops looked to be flanged hoops. The snare looks like Tama or Pearl, not Premier.

Those bass drum spurs didn't come in until the mid 70's, I believe

Agree. This spur design came around 75/76

I own a early 70's mahogany shell pack w/ beech rerings and the legs are straight. Nice drums by the way

Looks birch to me. Mid to late 70s. Wrong hoops on BD and FT. Modern Remo tom mount with Remo block probably means extra holes.

That mount is a freakin' monster and photo quality could be better, but I suppose these could be some quite fine drums!
