This sale is for the 4 piece shell pack only. There is no hardware, snare, cymbals or hardware case but new Protection Racket cases are available for the drums for an additional $400.00.This Premier drum kit is in near mint condition for age. Made in England and listed in the Premier 1978 catalogue as a Premier Elite it was their top of the range kit so this is most likely a 305 or 717 model. The birch with beech re-ring shells are true and round. The entire kit is in original condition and extremely well looked after. There aren't any extra holes or repair work that I can see. The two rack toms appear to have been originally concert toms and the bottom heads professionally added, possibly even by Premier. It wasn't unusual back then for a customer to custom order a kit with concert toms and then return the kit to the manufacturer or drum tech to have bottom heads added.The shell sizes are 24 x 14 bass drum, 13 x 9 and 14 x 10 (not pictured) toms and 18 x 16 floor tom for that awesome vintage sound. New Protection Racket padded cases included for everything, You will also get the original tom holder for the kick drum (not shown in pictures). The stainless steel plate over the tom holder holes on the kick was manufactured and purchased through Blenheim Drums in the UK for $60.00.I doubt you will find a similar kit in near mint condition anywhere for less than my asking price.
Due to the size and weight of this item, it's local pickup ONLY from Doncaster in Melbourne.
Note that there is no warranty or return for refund.
