“100 years ago, two young men got together – a drummer and a drum maker. Both had one idea – the progress and improvement of drummers’ instruments from the drummer’s point of view. Albert Della-Porta and George J. Smith enjoyed making drums and the Premier Drum Company was born.“

My Premier drum story isn’t 100 years old, but I think this photo would have been around taken at least 50 years ago. My First brand new drum set. Premier B303 in a very bright red. I paid for this kit, with money from my gigs. I was 15.
