Premier Snare ID

Posts: 113 Threads: 28

Just picked up this beater from a guy on craigslist for $20. Needs a hoop, strainer, butt, and 8 rods. The shell is pitted but the lugs look to be ok, lightly pitted but no peeling. Any idea what it is? It feels like a chrome over aluminum shell. Also got a bonus snare stand with it!

The hole spacing for the strainer is 3" by the way.

See below. Thanks guys!

Thats the same shell as premier used on the beverley cosmic 21, and is a plated aluminium shell.

It's a US market "21" snare from the early 70s.

Sweet, thanks Mike. That will give me a good starting point to look for hardware to complete it!
