After a long wait for the football to finish at the venue, I got to play my recent acquisition of a Premier Artist Birch.
The sizes are 20x14, 12x8 and 14x14, but it doesn't half punch above its weight for a 'jazz kit'. I'm particularly fond of the bass drum which has more power than I thought possible from it's relatively small size. The silver sparkle wrap looked gorgeous under the stage lights too.
It was also the first gig for my 2002 14" heavy hi-hats. They're incredibly versatile and worked equally well for slow ballads and rocky numbers.
My new Gibraltar flat base hardware worked flawlessly and really made a difference to load in/out. My back was noticeably relieved. It's quality stuff and no mistake. |

Was this the setup in that "Crash Cymbal Placement” thread?
If so it looks amazing very much my kind of kit. In fact I use the same sizes in a Premier Elite Genx .
To me they seem to be the most versatile sizes especially the kick. |

| Cool Prog, and I'm convinced, have to get me some of that hardware. Played a gig last night (after watching the Blues thoroughly deserved victory!), and my hardware bag was a right pain as there were stairs at the venue. Enough is enough, methinks. |
