Good Points
Well finished and built to last. Even though most of the Premier range has been made in the far east for the last few years (and I fear now even the top range kits are) the quality standards are still very high.
Bad Points
Not found any in almost 40 years of playing Premier kits!
General Comments
I play a new Cabria PK kit which I find light and easy to transport to gigs. For resident gigs or shows etc I play an old XPK fusion kit with a killer 20" bass drum. The lacquered finish and the chrome still shine and bely the kit's almost 3 decades of constant use. It still looks like new!
Sadly, these days Premier seem to produce most, if not all their kits and hardware in the far east. However, sad though this is, it does at least mean that their equipment remains competitive and affordable.
