Premier Drums have issued a limited edition snare drum they call the Della-Porta 100. It takes inspiration from the Premier walnut shell snares of yesteryear. It is strictly limited to a run of 100 pieces, exclusively handmade in the UK, and commemorates Premier’s centenary year.

The vintage-style snare drum comes with a bespoke protective carrying case from the UK’s leading case manufacturer Hardcase. The case features matching centenary branding, padded inner protection and is moulded in a vintage brown finish, exclusive to Premier.

As the manufacturer states: “The Della-Porta 100 is a versatile and accomplished snare drum, proudly named in recognition of Premier’s founder, Albert Della-Porta. It is Premier’s tribute to the legacy of the family responsible for six successful decades of drum building.
