Unknown vintage set

Posts: 4 Threads: 1

I recently discovered an ad for two vintage sets. One set was gone before my arrival. The second one (the one I got) had no badges. It has Premier Olympic pedals and one no-name cymbal tripod stand. 13" zildjian hi-hat cymbals, one 14" zildjian crash/splash cymbal, Real leather bass drum heads. Real letaher tom-tom and floor tom reso heads, Hollywood tom-tom batter head and Everplay floor tom batter head. If anyone knows what brand is the set, please let me know.

The lugs are definitely Amati, the bass T-rods are not - most likely old Premier/Olympic. Not entirely sure about the shells, but I think this may be a mix-and-match set.

First, I wonna thank you all for your response. I am NEW in the forum though I used to visit it quite frequently. I would like to point that out of a brief search in the net, I saw that Amati lugs are idrntical to Premier's. Mine are different. Also, my toms have tension rods (sloted) that are identical to Premier's. The bass drum lugs and tension rods resemble those of Premier's but they are not Premier's. Thank you once again. Any further help is welcome. Cheers from Greece

Welcome! Glad to have you, I think you will find this to be a very friendly and useful forum. Sorry I can't help with the identification of your drums but someone will figure it out.


Thank you!

Hi and welcome!

Amati lugs are very similar to Premier, but not exactly the same. And these aren't Premier nor Amati.

I think it's Brtish. Beverly, perhaps?

Anyway, it should be a good set. My advice is to carefully put the original heads away, if You intend to play it regularily, it'd be a shame to break them. Before getting new heads, though, check if the drums have standard international sizes. With old european drums like thsese, the chance is they're metric and getting metric heads is a little bit trickier.

When cleaning the hardware, don't use steel wool or anything like that so you don't damage the plating. The only exception might be the parts that are completely rusty. But even dirty nickel can be cleaned beautifully with soft cloth and proper liquids.

I think it is Made in England.

On drummuseum.hu there is John Gray Broadway with similar lugs
