Vintage (?) Premier Toms Last viewed: 6 hours ago

Posts: 8 Threads: 2

Hey all, I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me identify these drums-I seem to be getting conflicting information about the date of the badges and I can't seem to match up the finish with any Premier charts. The 3 toms' sizes are 10, 12, and 14 (sorry, I can't seem to upload the picture showing all 3 toms the site is saying it's to large), and the insides of the shells are painted black. Thanks for any help!

It's a re-wrap. That is not a Premier wrap.

Thank you, any idea of the age of them? Any value?

It's a modern ('90s through '00s) Premier APK- w/re-wrap, $30-50 each drum average on ebay, maybe a bit more if the 14" is a floor tom.

Yeah- I'm THAT guy!!!

Bunnyman is right on on the drums..But i think 30.00-50.00 a drum is high..Knowing its a re-wrap you don't know the condition of the edges.Drums are missing the grommets could be a home re-wrap not done by a drum shop...I think more like 20.00-30.00 a drum...Mikey

Guess I was being optimistic.

Shoulda looked at the badge. $30 is all of the money. DOH

Thanks for the info. I was hoping they were vintage-it's hard to tell the difference between late 60's and 90's Premier badges.

Are you sure these are a rewrap? Check out these drums I found on Guitar Centers site:

Even if this is a factory wrap,these are from the masonite era.I think it was Poppy that had one of these sets-know what you are purchasing....

The missing grommet in the badge is a dead giveaway. And that looks like BOP in the GC link.

The APK aren't bad drums by any means- just a bit on the lower end.
