| Lives for gear | Can anyone identify this old Premier snare drum?
I got this at an estate auction awhile back. It's missing the badge, but i'm pretty sure it's a Premier. It was being used in a kit that had a bunch of 60's Ludwig toms, so I'm guessing it's from that era. I've never seen a chrome snare with the two metal bars on the inside like this. I checked eBay and there wasn't anything similar listed. I'd really like to know the rough value of the drum     |

Definitely Premier. Based on the snare throw I'd guess early 70's, but it could be 60's. Not the most amazing sounding drum, but OK, and the value should reflect that. Some of these chrome Premier snare drums are valued by collectors, so it could be worth something.

It looks like a Premier 2000, after looking through some old ads, but it's a bigger size. I might clean it up and toss it on eBay and see what happens. I have a Ludwig Classic Maple Bop kit that never gets used because I live in a small house and you can hear it on the street!

Looks like a 2000.. throw some good heads on it and keep it - they're good sounding drums.

Cool, I really don't have a need for it. If I can get a $100-$125 for it I'd be happy, I could put that towards something I can use on a regular basis.

My main snare is a mid 60s 2000 - great sounding drum in my opinion. Came in 3 depths originally too - 4", 5 1/2" and 6 1/2" - yours seems like the latter, and looks in good nick too, the chrome work on 2000s is somewhat notorious for it's steady demise  |
