Hi I,m Pete,started drumming in 1957 in a skiffle group,progressed to Rock,Trad Jazz and harmony trios at Dinner Dances,retired now sort of run my own 17 piece Big Band,plus a little Trad Jazz,love collecting, teaching&restoring drums

vintage drum kits, cymbals and hardware

Love my Premier White Marine Pearl Resonator, but nice to buy other kits and sometimes give them a work out on a Gig.I have played Ludwig, Rogers, Pearl and Slingerland but to my mind nothing compares to Premier the diamond chrome used is from the same producer as Rolls Royce, The earlier Premier drums have dampers on all drums, nowdays you can pay a fortune and end up with gaffa tape all over the drum to damp it down, thegolden period for Premier was between 1960 and 1990, fabulous parrallel action snare drums like the Royal Ace and 2000, the rare Resonator Snare with outer steel case inner wood and the fabulous Project one with inner shell surely the finest studio recording snare drum, Resonator and Projector Kits were fabulous kits, not made anymore because they were so expensive to produce, in my opinion nothing can better these drums.The Premier Factory in Leicester closed last year, expect Premier Vintage Drums to go through the roof now, I cannot think of a better investment in these hard ti
