Premier 16.25" floortom Last viewed: 16 hours ago

Loading...

Have a pre-international 16.25x15 Premier floortom. Don't know exact age. Black wrap, 10 lugs, 3 legs. Can anyone help with date? Is for sale. Or better: a trade with a 16" black APK floortom so I can fit a meshhead.

Around 1965 to 67.

If it's a Birch shell, 65' or earlier. Mahogany shell 66' and later. Lugs are transitional Art Deco, 66 to 1970's.

Premier was making the change to standard sizes during this period. Premier never wasted shells or parts, often you'll find odd mix-matched kits with odd lugs and odd sized shells within a factory kit.

Thx for your reply. Wood looks like birch to me with a beech inner rim. Suppose mahogany is darker. Two extra pics to show. Anything more you can say about it?

Thanks again!

Yes, transitional 66'.

Birch shell, but note the muffler, older would have had two small pads (barbell) type instead of the polygon pad.
