Hi All, Great pics of your Premiers... I will post some
pics of mine soon.
I am happy to share with you all the news that Premier is
rereleasing the Genista Series in both Birch and Maple.
This is a good day!
 
Like the drums a lot, but the hardware that came with it is deplorable. This is a last-year-in-Britain Cabria, with sparkle lacquer. The floor tom sounds awesome, especially for a 14". The 10" is an easy to tune drum with nice character, but the 12" (not shown), predictably, is hard to zero in.

My Walnut Finish XPK. It's good to see the other one pictured on these pages. Birch with eucalyptus. Direct punchy sound. 10"tom, 22"bass, 10x5"XPKpopcorn snare and 14x5.5"Signia snare. I notice RMV heads tune lower than others, which is good for the smaller 14" low tom.

Is that a MEGA cup chime???????
How does it sound?
 
Yes it is a Mega Cup Chime...19 inch. Basically it sounds like
a bell gong, low, shimmery and long.

New to the forum, but not to drums. I took a 7 year hiatus from drumming and just recently set the kit up, put new heads on, and purchased a hodgepodge of cymbals. A few of the cymbals like the 502 hihats, 14" Alpha, and the 18" 302 ride were all from the late 90's that I've had.

Here is my Premier APK set from ~1997 in the special edition red satin flame wrap.

22x18 bass
10,12,14 toms

Hi to all you Premier fanatics out there!!!!
There are some awesome looking kits being shown on this thread now, so keep it going.
Just to let you all know, I have just received more Deleted series parts from the UK including, Signia, Genista, Gen X & Artist series. So, if anyone needs anything please contact me directly at [email protected].
I am still the ONLY official contact with Premier here in the US at this time. If you go to their official site (premier-percussion.com) & search for your local store in the USA drop down you will see only one name.
I know that there is still some frustration here with the Distribution situation but hang in there, that will be changing very soon, so hang in there.
Cheers for now
Dancincrow.

Thanks. Does this mean we'll being seeing some kits eventually?
 
You mean from Premier? Hopefully. Believe me, I am as anxious as you are as I will be the one selling them :))
One thing I did want to let everyone know is that I have a small stock of the Very Hard to Find Signia Throw off, brand new direct from Premier. They aren't cheap so be prepared but if you want the best, I have them, I have a total of 12 in all & that was they're complete stock.
Cheers for now
