Keith Moon drum kit

[Brian Hill]

Hey. Does anyone know if Premier ever made a drum set like Keith Moon's? (Shallow 14" toms) or did they just make them custom for him using snare drum shells? I'd like to acquire a kit like that, but have never seen one for sale. Thanks.

During the 60's, Premier didn't make 13" toms, they produced a 14x8 instead. Keith picked what they had in store.

Premier did reissue a "look-alike" kit ;

I'm curious to know what snare he used on Won't Get Fooled Again. Anybody know?

Might well be a Premier 2000?

Keith used 3 14x8 rack toms until he "grew" the kit to include 4 more rack toms in front of the 14x8s in appx 1972. Premier marketed a "replica" Pictures of Lilly kit they called "Spirit of Lilly" a few years back but only did so for about a year. Photo attached followed by a photo of one of the first "expanded" kits he used until his death.

Pretty sure it was a 1970 SSB Gretsch 5x14.
