Built to cut through the mix
Birch remains a popular choice for drummers who need clarity, projection and definition, and this kit makes the most of its 100% birch shell construction. The 7.5mm 6-ply shells produce a fast, direct response with focused lows and crisp highs, helping every drum speak clearly in demanding musical settings. Whether you're playing heavy rock riffs, intricate fills or driving grooves, the shells provide the punch and articulation needed to stay present in the mix. The 45-degree bearing edges further support a responsive feel, making tuning straightforward across a wide range of sounds.
Expanded setup for creative playing
The six-piece configuration gives you more creative options than a standard five-piece setup. Featuring 10" and 12" rack toms alongside 14" and 16" floor toms, the kit offers a broad tonal spread for expressive fills and detailed tom work. If you like building larger patterns across the kit, the additional floor tom opens up more possibilities without complicating your setup. The 22" x 18" bass drum provides a strong foundation with plenty of presence, while the overall layout remains familiar and comfortable for gigging and rehearsal environments.
Hardware that supports your sound
Premier has designed the Artist series to maximise shell performance without sacrificing practicality. The ISO mounting system reduces contact between the rack toms and mounting hardware, allowing the shells to resonate more naturally. Low-mass lugs further minimise interference with shell vibration, helping preserve sustain and tonal character. When it's time to load in or set up, integrated memory locks make positioning quick and consistent. This means less time adjusting your kit and more time focusing on your performance.
Ready for demanding performances
The matching 14" x 6.5" birch snare delivers the depth, volume and attack often required for rock and metal styles. Its deeper shell adds extra body while maintaining the clarity needed for articulate backbeats and accented passages. Visually, the satin Matte Black finish pairs with Black Nickel hardware to create a modern look that stands out on stage. A supplied double tom holder completes the package, providing a secure mounting solution for the rack toms and helping you achieve a comfortable, reliable setup every time you play.
Premier Artist Hardware Pack
The Premier Artist Hardware Pack is packed with features that have been specifically designed to give you more stability, easier set-up, and consistent performance.
