Hi, I have a vintage Premier drum kit that i think is either late 1950's or early 1960's. All the badges on the drums say 'made and reg'd in england' except the one which is on the right hand mounted tom (I believe this tom was added slightly later as the badge says 'made in england' and it has a different mount. (The drum looks almost identical to the other mounted tom but i know originally there was only one.) The cymbals say 'zyn' and 'super zyn'. It's in fairly good condition and has been played as a hobby by me for the last 10 years (was given it as a birthday gift). The drum shells are wood, i think the finish is a white/cream pearl. It also has 3 Premier hard cases with it.
As you can tell i don't know a lot about drums but here's a link to some pictures of the kit which will hopefully give you more info than i can!
I'd love to know what year this is from and as i need to sell it if anyone has any ideas of what it may be worth that would be really great.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
