Here for sale we have a fully refurbished 70s vintage Premier Bebop sized drumset. This came to me in a rather sorry state, it had been badly rewrapped in WMP at some point, and so to work ... All shells have been fully checked over, all edges checked, sanded and waxed. Rewrapped (again) in a Delmar black, hoops resprayed and lacquered with Delmar Silver Sparkle inlays. A poorly place cymbal arm mount has been removed from the bass, ex fixing holes dowel plugged and sanded flush with interior. I would be very happy to reinstate this mount in the correct spot at a buyers request, gratis.So, ready to go out of the box this should ideally make a working jazzer very happy. These sets are rapidly gaining a deserved reputation as the go to vintage bopset for those who prefer not to shell out on the (some might say) vastly overpriced US equivalents. Certainly they've been leaving my RBs on the shelf for a while ... Sizes ...18x12 Bass drum. 3ply birch shell with solid beech rerings. 8 Sydney Opera House lugs, 16 cast Ls and claws. Disappearing long spurs and oval Lokfast tom mount plate plus single arm. New Evans EQ clear head to batter and original 60s Everplay to reso with new logo affixed.14x14 Floor tom. 3ply mahogany shell with solid beech rerings. 16 SOH style lugs, square headed tension bolts for ease of tuning. Streamline cast hoops and rectangular damper, T screw leg mounts and replacement non Premier 9.5mm legs with rubber feet. Used Ambassador coated to batter and Everplay (small tear fixed) to reso. 12x8 ride tom. 3ply mahogany shell with solid beech rerings. 6 SOH lugs, square headed tension bolts for ease of tuning. Streamline cast hoops and rectangular damper plus Lokfast tom mount. Used Evans coated to batter and clear single ply head to reso. So here's an opportunity to obtain a rather rare Premier offering that should only increase in value (recent sales of the sets have seen the £1000 mark breached twice) and they aren't making them any more after all. This one has been refurbished to a very high standard though given the age of the the metalwork some pitting should be expected. Please peruse the photos and judge for yourselves. Included in this sale are the three drums (18/14/12) ONLY and all other items (ie snare/hardware/cymbals) are shown for illustrative purposes only and are NOT FOR SALE. I will post these drums to anywhere in the known world ... Price quoted for Worldwide shipping is an estimate only, some locations may be considerably more and some may be less so please get in touch for an accurate price for shipping to your destination. Only actual shipping cost will be charged. I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer or even good old foldin' money should collection be made ...Any questions or further picture requirements?
