For almost 100 years, Premier has been leading the way in the world of percussion design and development. With so much experience, they are practically unrivalled in their craft, building their drums with the utmost quality. As one of the most recognized and iconic names in popular music, Premier is a name artists everywhere rely on. Premier was born at the height of the Jazz Age when drum builder George Smith and professional drummer Albert Della Porta founded Premier in the Soho area of London. Through jazz to beat boom drummers, to the punk rock explosion of the 1970s to new wave and today’s modern rock, Premier drums have seen it all. Their versatility has led drummers with all different playing styles to keep the beat with them. Chris Sharrock of Beady Eye, Doane Perry of Jethro Tull, Ginger Fish, Jamie Morrison of the Stereophonics, Matt Helders of the Arctic Monkeys, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden and Pat Lundy of Funeral For a Friend are just a few on the list of legends and up and comers who swear by these drums.
When it comes time to purchase Premier drums of your own, there are plenty of options here that will work for you. If you’re a beginner looking for their first kit, you can’t go wrong with an option such as the APK Modern Rock 22 5-Piece Shell Pack. These drums hit hard, and offer durable construction that will help them last as you grow as a drummer and performer. If, on the other hand, you’re a more experienced drummer looking for a kit that’s really something special, check out the Genista Maple Stage 20 5-Piece Shell Pack. The Genista is a versatile kit with incredible tones and a distinct look you’ll love showing off. It’s definitely a great option for pros and hobbyists alike.
Premier is a company that has seen it all in the world of drums and percussion. Their sound and construction are unparalleled, earning them a sterling reputation worldwide. Their name alone says it all, these drums are truly Premier.
