Bailey Cassell Now As One

I'm so proud and filled with joy to be able to join the Premier family. I love playing Premier drums because the toms and bass sound big and chunky but the snare sounds tight.

Denzel Vennart / Young Legionnaire

The first kit I owned as a kid was Premier. It sounded and looked great, and lasted years and years. I still have it somewhere. Hadn't played Premier for a while and then when I played one of the Elite kits I thought 'I haven't felt this kind of solid thud from a kick since my first kit'. Premier make amazing drums!

Doane Perry Jethro Tull

From a whisper to a SHOUT...my Premier Series Elite easily covers the entire dynamic range with subtlety, strength and a completely focused sound. From orchestral to rock, these drums are consistent, responsive, warm and musical and are darn nice to look at too!

Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band

Premier HTS and Professional Series are great sounding drums that are easy to set well. We know Premier drums are the loudest and clearest on the field; some others can produce a good bright sound, but nowhere near the same clarity, volume or projection.

I use Premier because it's the only brand that is focused on sound and manufacture quality. Their drums are versatile and very responsive to the dynamics, which allows you to play from jazz/blues to rock or even more aggressive music styles!

The very first kit I was given was a Premier and I've never looked back. Premier are home made drums for a home made drummer..... they look great on stage and of course when I play them...they sound great!

I'm currently touring with Billy Bragg and my Premier kit has never let me down. The drums are well constructed, consistently sound great, easy to tune and look fantastic. I am constantly complimented on my sound by the audience, other musicians and most importantly other drummers. I can go to work on stage every night and know my kit will deliver the goods and allow me to enjoy the show!

I like the extremely rich and deep but warm sound of the concert bass drum in piano and also in forte. The cradle allows for the perfect set-up.

The band's choice of the Professional Series bass and tenors is due to the fantastic range of defined notes, ease of tuning and warmth of harmonics; these drums will take your mid-section to the next level.
