Basswood Premier Acoustic Drums

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.

Their versatility has led drummers with all different playing styles to keep the beat with them.
