This is my Premier Cabria Exclusive in Topaz. Fusion sizes.

The Snare is a Premier Modern Classic 14 x 5.5 in birch.

The cymbals are Meinl MCS.

Heads:-
Bass - Clear Powerstroke 3 batter and stock reso
Snare - coated Powerstroke 3 over stock reso
Toms are all Evans G2 over G1

There's a mix of hardware including a Big Dog snare stand and the IC pedal.

For an entry level kit I think it looks and sounds pretty good.

Timebandit, your kit's finish is brilliant. Actually made me do a double take.

Tom
 
The Yellow Cab set needs a sticker on the front of the bass drum like the side of a cab door.

2.50 for the first mile
1.00 for every 1/7th mile after that.
 
Hope I'm not too late!

Just about to leave town for a bit and thought I'd make my first post.

Here lies my beloved first kit, a Premier Artist Maple in Amber. Rescued from a pawn shop and slowly being restored as time permits.

22" x 18" Bass, 16" x 16" Floor Tom, 14" x 5.5" Snare, 12" x 9" Mounted Tom, Zildjian Cymbals

Thanks for looking! Questions, comments, and tips all greatly appreciated : )

I love these, great look. They are going to sound killer when you finish them up.

1.00 for every 1/7th mile after that.

Too funny,

Or maybe:
$2.50 for the first note
$1.00 for every 1/8th note after that.
Each additional request: $2.00
This is a Guitar-Free Kit
 
So here's one of mine :) Well ..... it's actually 2 kits. These are Limited Edition Union Jack Wrap Artist Maples from the late 90's.
I sold 1 of them but have since picked up the newer "Birch" version form 2006 with the Genista style lugs ..... pretty sweet, you can see a photo of it on Mike Dolbears site from the 2006 NAMM show.

Oh Hells yeah. The only thing a Union Jack looks better on is the roof of a Mini. And maybe a Strat...

NOW that kit is SEXY to the CORE....SWEEEET absolutely love that
 
Thanks!!! The Artist Maple Series was probably one of the most under rated kits out there which is unfortunate. The guy I sold 1 of the UJ kits to, who lives in Canada, has done nothing but RAVE about how the Toms sound & how easy they are to tune.
It's really nice to see that there are still people out there who appreciate Premier despite the way they are (or should I say .... are not) running their business these days, especially when it comes to setting up a new U.S. Distributor ....... such a shame!!! There has been, & continues to be, much frustration here in the U.S. that they don't seem to care about the customers over here who remain loyal to them .... though how long will that last?
