Late 70s Premier Resonators — Not So Modern Drummer

notsomoderndrummer.com

The Late '70s Premier Resonators capture a unique sonic charm with their innovative design, featuring inner shells that create a rich resonance. The review praises their excellent build quality, particularly the outstanding chrome finish and sturdy construction. However, the piece notes the challenges of sourcing parts and the rarity of the drums, which may deter some potential buyers. Despite these hurdles, the author's joy in restoring and playing the kit shines through, making it a rewarding endeavor. Overall, while the Premier Resonators may not suit everyone's taste, their distinctive sound and vintage appeal are undeniable, positioning them as a worthwhile investment for dedicated drummers.
