Here we a very nice Deco Yellow Resonator set with some great sizes. Premier took drum shell design to a completely new level with Resonator, these drums have a truly unique sound. Resonator drums are twin shell, the outer shell takes all the stress and holds the shell mounted hardware whilst the inner 2 ply birch shell is stress free and free floating allowing it to resonate freely.
The drums became popular for their strong fundamental pitch, longer sustain and wide tuning range. Premier patented the technology meaning the unique sonic characteristics have always been exclusive to this range. The tone and definition of these drums are often compared with the Recording Custom which would later be built for a period at the same factory under licence for Yamaha by Premier.
This is a great opportunity to get one of Premier’s finest Birch drum sets built in Leicestershire. The condition of this kit is average for the age. The metal work is all original too!
