Behold Big P, my new backline rental drum kit and possibly one of the greatest drum sets ever manufactured! This top-of-the-line Premier Signia drum set is made from 5 plies of 5mm thick maple reinforced with rings and sounds DEVASTATING! You can feel these drums resonate in your chest as they fill the room and shake the floor with thunderous tone. This was Premier's best!

If you're wondering why I'm making such a big deal about this drum set you probably missed my drum shop feature a few months back on Edinburgh's Drum Vault, a shop specializing in vintage Premier restorations. There's a reason for that; the Drum Vault's owner Jamie Corstorphine knew about Premier's reputation for hand-selecting quality woods, a practice that peaked with their Signia line of thin, 100% maple shells that produced an amazing drum kit.
The good news is now you can rent it for $80/night with five cymbal booms, an Iron Cobra pedal and hi hat stand, and both a Pearl Sensitone and Yamaha Rock Tour Maple snare drum—just add cymbals and a throne! It's the best money you can spend for your gig!
But don't take my word for it—come see a live demo at Rock Jam 2014 this Saturday, August 23rd at Hopper's Sports Grill and hear them for yourself. They'll be played from 6pm to close with free giveaways, volleyball and specials on food and drink so there will be something for everyone.
And in case you were wondering, no, it is not for sale, but everything else I have is.
