Premier Oyster

Posts: 44 Threads: 14

Hello All At VDF

I found these pictures on my computer from a few years ago when I set up this kit, shame I took the pictures before I put on the pedals and I have 1 tom upside down (I think the head was better on that side at the time) for a quick play.

A very rare set with true factory 18x12 BD and 14x14 FT, the sizes are...

18x12 BD

20x14 BD

12x8 Tom

12x8 Tom

14x14 FT

16x15 FT

One of the rarest Premier sets I have ever seen, kind regards John

Nice set-up. A lot to keep one busy there. Ginger Baker would like that.

Do i spy a mahogany interior on one bass drum? I was always led to believe that they only did that for a short period in the early 1970s.

Hi John,

What a Beauty! Taken that computer Keyboard aside I would have assumed it's a Picture taken in the 70s. Cool Throne and Carpet, the Kinks and Beatles Records...just my cup of tea!

Where might this Kit, including one of those rare 14" Floor Toms be now?

thanks for sharing,

Lars
