Last month, Premier celebrated its 100th anniversary. On this occasion, the new owner has revamped the website, official social media profiles and (most importantly) the instrument range.
All detailed information can be found on the brand’s official website: https://www.premier-percussion.com. What we would like to do is draw your attention to the new range of snare drums, which certainly includes some eye-pleasing and ear-catching options and every drummer out there can find something for him or herself.
