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!

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.

Fife Constabulary Pipe Band

The tuning and maintenance required of Premier HTS 800 and Professional Series is minimal and the drums are very easy to set-up. I would have no hesitation in recommending Premier products to all pipe band drummers and drum corps.

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!

Kilts & More Dysart & Dundonald Pipe Band

We have always used Premier, and I firmly believe Premier drums are the way forward in the pipe band world. The HTS 800 provides the corps with clarity of sound, a pitch to compliment the pipes, a snare response and powerful impact second to none on the market. The Professional Series bass and tenor are easy to tune and add great harmonics and colour to the overall band sound.

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.

Pat Lundy Modestep

When I first played a Premier drum set, I was probably around 10 years old, as they were the drums that belonged to the studio my brother and I would rehearse in. I hadn't played Premier for a number of years, until recently when I visited the Headquarters and showroom. After soaking in a little of Premier's incredible heritage, I played the new Elite series and was blown away. I didn't think a kick drum could sound as full and pack such a thud. The short stack toms are easy to tune and very responsive. Premier since 1922, have perfected the art of drum making and I am very proud to represent such a superior brand and world renowned drum company.
