Sound Pure's Take

A vintage steel snare drum crafted in England, this Premier offers plenty of no-frills cut and projection, with crisp articulation and sensitivity to match. This drum exhibits the classic, bright steel sound that we love, and is perfect for any drummer looking to capture the timeless snare sounds heard on countless classic records.

The thin steel shell lends to a bright, cutting tone, while the die-cast hoops serve to focus the sound with crisp, tight attack. The dual-tension snare strainer provides even more tonal focus by allowing the drummer to tension the snare wires from either side, leading to a tight, snappy snare tone.

The shell does feature some pitting from years of use, and there is one tension rod missing from the snare side. The snare wires, as well, could stand to be replaced, but the drum is in otherwise good physical condition.

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

Serving drummers worldwide since 1922, Premier remains at the forefront of percussion instruments. Rich in history, tradition and innovation; the Premier brand continues to deliver the best drumsets and hardware in today's market.
