Premier Snare Drums Info Required

Posts: 772 Threads: 93

Here are two snare drums i just pick up rather cheap on ebay. Not sure of models or year. Could do with some premier guys on the knowledge. One is similar to the premier 2000 the other is a marching drum. More pics once delivered. They both need the magic touch so i can get them re sold......Thanks......sean

the blue one is a 70s 2001 (the wood version of the 2000). Birch shell with beech rings. Nice snare and good the wires are intact. The other is a marcher as you know - 60s I'd say. Looks like you'll need a lug.

Thanks Dukekamaya.....Ive looked in the brochures from 50's on the marching drum. The puzzling thing isnt the usual strainer and butt. It is the lever for the top snare wires i cant seem to see that set up. I know later on that premier had top snare wires that were activated with an arm. Wonder if im not looking in the right place or it was a special order. As for the lug i have a replacement from nick hopkins plus a tension rod....Thx guys.
