Reviews As lead drummer for St. Laurence OToole Pipe Band – the reigning Grade 1 World Drumming Champions – the tonal balance of the HTS 800 has been a significant contributing factor behind our success with 22 major championship and 6 world drumming title winning performances so far. Only Premiers HTS 800 can produce the clarity crisp tone and clear projection for our signature sound. Its designed and made with precision – high-quality engineering ensures the top and bottom snare system can be easily set by any player. This is a drum for champions. – Stephen Creighton (St. Laurence OToole Pipe Band) Ive played Premier drums for the majority of 40 years now and to keep at the top level you need the best equipment available. With Premier’s quality of sound and reliability I think we have the correct combination. We have a strong chanter sound and a heavy drone sound at FMM so the ability to cut through that wall is vital so that we can showcase ourselves to maximum potential. The excellent top and bottom snare combined with the shell construction enables me to project that sound right through the band. The HTS 800 produces a robust sound with clarity as standard; the recent advances in the top and bottom snares make this drum even more easily set and less likely to move from week to week. The drum is also extremely well built so any breakages are basically unheard of which all adds up to a really reliable package – Keith Orr (Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band) I choose to play Premier because it is quite simply the best sounding pipe band drum available today. The tonal quality of the HTS 800 is first class providing a crisp sharp pitch which enhances our band ensemble. The top snare mechanism is fantastic and brings depth and clarity it is also sensitive and intuitive to tune. – Mick ONeill (Police Scotland Fife Pipe Band) Specifications Shell Construction: Birch Shell Ply: 7-ply Shell Thickness: 5.6mm Bearing Edge: 45 degrees Shell Diameter: Standard Internal Finish: Clear Sealant Drumheads: Remo Cybermax / Hazy Hoops: Die-Cast Shell Finish: Ebony Black Lacquer Hardware Finish: Polished Aluminium Snare Wires: 0677 / 0678 Carry Hook / Eyes: Carry Hook Whats Included?: High Tension Drum Key Our legacy your future.
