I think this is a mid fifties Premier Kit ..... I acquired this kit with the 30's Dominion Snare I posted last night.....When I got this kit it was filthy ....all the drums seem to have cleaned up really well....underneath all of that grime there is shimmering Gold Sparkle that is in remarkable condition for its age...The locking system for the kick drum and floor tom is very unusual ...It is a little lever that you press to release a spur / leg ...then when you take your fingers of it ...it locks itself into position .....All the fittings are non magnetic....don't know whether they are brass or not....I can never remember Premier doing brass fittings....I have tried to set up the kit to give it a blast.....but honestly the only place that I can figure out where to place the Small Tom...is way on the left side of the kick drum.....Do you guys know if this is the correct positioning for this drum?...and the cymbal stands are something else....In fact all the fittings attach to the Kick Drum....The neatest pieces are the wood block and cow bells....The kit came with about eight Zyn and Super Zyn Cymbals....Oh and one Zyn Sizzle.....British Made Cymbals......Zildjian....Paiste....Sabian.....you definitely have got nothing to worry about.....Sorry all you Zyn fanatics out there ....I love this kit for its quirkiness .....and its looks.....but playing it is a different ball game...Sorry about the number of pictures....I am just trying to show you all the fittings as well......Baz
