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!

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!

Kosta Theodosis The Kite String Tangle

Premier were the drums that I played growing up when I was putting in the long hours learning my craft, now I play these drums on tour and in studios all over the world. They get the job done every time, the sound can't be beaten and they look incredible. Combine that with a legendary history and you'll discover that it just doesn't get any better than Premier!

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!

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.
