What should i do with these Premiers?

Loading...

The wrap on the bass drum has sever cracks in it and it is excatly like the floor tom

From JRichard

Have you removed the wrap from the other drums? I find it very hard to beleive the FT is a Premier. Premier did a composite laminate/wood series at one point but it was not like what's in the picture. Plus the wrap was glued at the seam, Premier usually glues down the entire wrap.The Yamaha issue. At the time Yamaha was not a major player in world wide drum building and had no distribution. Premier was up for grabs, so they got a foot in the door, used Premier's markets and distro to push the Yamaha lines and let the infrustucture of Premier die. Once Yamaha became a player in the market, they cut Premier loose, leaving it in ruins.

I decided to wrap my Premiers in Blue Diamond Pearl wrap. I got the floor tom done yesterday. It looks fabulas now. I have a Grestch Blackhawk fusion kit that has a almost identical finish on them. I rent the grestch to a sound company here in town. The grestch has a 14" rack tom that hangs on a cymbal stand. The sound company requested a 16" floor tom with legs, so I decided to wrap the Premiers in that color. I'll put a Evan's G2 head on it and add it to the rental kit. They seam to love the Grestch with the Evans g2's. I bought them at guitar center used gear for $185. They came with all the stands and double pedal alll Gibralter, and I rent them for $100 a day or $200 a week. I include sabian B8's and they like them also. lol

They look nice Poppy! Good rescue job! Hey, if the sound company are OK with the sound of the floor tom, you could rent out the whole Premier kit and make some cash off it!
