These are in a local pawn shop.

Any idea of what they're worth........roughly. The drums are not in bad shape - banged up a little.

They're asking $455

I don't really need them but if it was a very good deal I might be tempted. So you think $375-$400 is a good deal or is it an awesome deal?

What is the year? I'm guessing early 80's? I really don't know much about Premier but I should be able to look it up somewhere.

Thanks

I can't see the badges well, but they look more like '90s or even early '00s drums. The tom hardware definitely looks '90s. The floor tom lugs are a dead give away, as they didn't do those type of floor tom lugs until the mid-to late- '80s. There's no series badges on the drums (under the "Premier" badges), which points me to after the Resonator, Projector, X/APK era. It doesn't look like they are APK (black interiors), so I think they could be a mid level series. I have one of those drums, and it's a nice, thin shell; just not the shells with re-rings and round over edges I am familiar with as far as how I identify Premier.

Thanks - I will pass on these drums.

I would be more interested for sure if they were Premier Signia made in England before they went offshore haha.

Don't know much about guitars. I didn't notice sorry.

Next time I'm by there I can drop in and look. What should I be looking for on the guitar?

Those are UK made. Just not Signias. Signia had a different lug design. But those drums you're passing on are nice, just not Signia nice.

Those look like lower end Cabria drums to me. They're definitely early Cabrias, as the later ones don't have the same tom lugs, etc, but from what I can see thru the floor tom head... those look like cheap shells. I'd offer $300.

That said, they are on par with '90 era Pearl Exports; good entry level drums that sound good - made before the ultra-cheap and terrible sounding drumsets started being made (a la Pearl Forum, Tama Stagestar, etc).

I have an 18" Cabria kick drum and snare that sound great for what they are. Not like my vintage Premiers, but good to enough to gig with if I had to.
