The Premier Elite 14″ x 6.5″ Snare Drum is designed to meet the requirements of the professional drummer. The shell is constructed from a carefully balanced 2-ply North American birch and 2-ply North American maple formula. This ultimate blended shell although thinner in construction delivers an authentically natural tone that comes alive on stage and in the studio. The 6.5 depth provides an incredibly well-rounded and balanced tone – perfect for when a heavier backbeat is required. Elite finishes arent just for aesthetics. Each finish offers unique benefits that enhance the performance of the shells. The sparkle finishes are designed with touring drummers in mind. These finishes are incredibly durable withstanding the rigours of extensive use night after night whilst offering a great stage-ready aesthetic.
Premier Elite series The Elite series was originally launched in 2003 and it continues to be synonymous with professional drummers who seek the very best in quality and sound performance. This series was redefined in Premier’s centennial year featuring an all-new Elite shell formula. Premier worked closely with producers engineers and drummers to ensure the very best in quality. During this process a variety of shell types and ply combinations were experimented with until the Elite was formed. The overall aim to discover a blend that produced the best possible sound. Carefully selected shells for an optimum performance The 4-ply 4.8mm construction features an equal measure of North American birch and North American Maple. These shells also include a traditional 1’’ beech support ring to enhance their durability and sound quality. The combination of a thin construction and the blended ply design ensures each shell delivers a full-bodied tone with a great level of high and low frequencies. This adds weights and presence making the shells perfectly suited for studio and live situations. Hardware engineered for optimal performance Every feature on the Elite Shell Pack has a unique purpose. Whether that be to improve tuning enhance player experience or increase the snares sonic qualities. The stylish deep chrome low-mass Elite lugs provide maximum shell resonance whilst the 2.3mm triple-flange hoops greatly reduce the risk of undesirable overtones. The brass snare wires ensure a much brighter warmer tone compared to their steel counterparts. This tone is great for live performances. The brass snare wires also ensure a long-lasting life thanks to their anti-rust design.
