...I have five pairs of Premier die cast hoops.
12", 13", 14" tom, 14" snare, and 16". My first introduction to these little monsters was about fifteen years ago when I bought a basement full of drum junk from a guy in Fort St John BC.
I was trying to cobble together a drum kit for a buddy of mine, and in the project pile was a pair of 12, and 16" hoops. most of the metal screws and washers, and some of the chrome on some of the non Premier parts had a degree of pitting, and corrosion, but the Premier chrome, once cleaned and polished up looked almost show room clean. I was very impressed with the hoops, which I quickly installed on my Canwoods, and they have been on almost every kit that I have owned since. As kits changed, and time wore on, I collected more of them in the sizes that I needed. Aside from the ones now on my kits, I have some spares should I ever need them.
Here is a shot of my 13" collector tom that best shows the hoop. Unlike the Tama, Pearl, or other die cast hoops, the Premiers have a nice shallow rounded profile, that does not shred your sticks, plus the chrome is bullet proof, and the hoops are solid.
