Premier ID Help! Last viewed: 4 days ago

Posts: 22 Threads: 10

Hi guys,

Newbie to the forum here. Recently acquired a lot of drums from auction that included some bonus finds! I have what appears to me to be mid-70's Premiers, but I'm not 100%. The snare I believe is a 2000, around 1973, but I haven't been able to find out much about the rest. The lugs aren't square, but slotted. Bass drum spurs are hidden, and the tom mounts are "newer" style. I looked at some catalogues from the 70's and I thought maybe early Resonators, but the mounting screws are showing through the shells.

Any thoughts as to what I have?

Welcome! looks 70s. What are the sizes? Most likely a 202 or b202 if the bass drum is 22"(or whatever they called them in the American catalogs - PD202?). Will either be birch with beech re-rings or African mahogany with beech rings. Lovely kits but grossly undervalued. Can't tell what the snare is from the photos but likely to be a 2000 (8 lug with parallel throw) or a Hi-Fi (10 lug with standard style throw).

*looking again and the snare is definitely a 2000
