Well as you can see this snare drum was left in a garage for some years. I bought it either for parts or a restoration. The rods washers lug inserts and anything rusty will be soaked in the usual white vinegar. The shell looks like it might have to retire hoops lugs wires and complete parallel action unit seem ok. Ill postmore once i have the drum, these are the best pics i have. Thanks...sean
Vintage Premier 2000 In Need Of Restoration
From what I see the drum overall just needs a really good cleaning. As long as the shell is in round I'd keep it, clean it as much as possible and use it. Already has a pretty cool look to it. The interior doesn't look too bad, just some exterior corrosion.

Might clean up fine. Its an early 70's example
Every panel has bad chrome loss. Ive got a couple of the 2000 and 2001 snare drums in top condition. This one will be sold for parts. Its worse than i thought but i only paid £40 for it. I know that other people will need some parts.......Thanks
The best way to probably sort that is to get the shell shot blasted and all the chrome removed, or brushed alloy is the way to go.
Its mainly been sold for parts. The shell is absolutely not worth messing with. The rest of the parts have found other homes. Thanks.
Most of the parts were sold in the USA plus Australia. Its helped to complete 5 other premier 2000 snare drum to their former glory.
