"HTS 800 has the most volume, the best snare response and the best sound and balance of any pipe band snare drum. As for the bass and tenor sound...WOW! Premier drums have outstanding clarity and are so easy to set up." Stephen Creighton St.Laurence O’Toole Pipe Band
“Royal Marines musicians are regarded as the most versatile in the military musical world. The Corps of Drums receive a thorough training and pride themselves on maintaining the highest standards of drill, bugling and drumming. Their glittering presence at the front of all Royal Marines Bands on the march gives the bands an impact that is second to none.” www.royalmarinesbands.co.uk
“Premier HTS and Professional Series are great sounding drums that are easy to set well. We know Premier drums are the loudest and clearest on the field; some others can produce a good bright sound, but nowhere near the same clarity, volume or projection.” Keith Orr Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band
"Why do I play Premier? Easy, the unmatched pipe band snare sound. And for me, it comes down to four main components: Pitch, Clarity, Snare Response and Projection. Another drum may give you a couple of those components but not all four. The Premier HTS 800 is the complete package." Graham Brown Peel Regional Police Pipe Band
"The tuning and maintenance required of Premier HTS 800 and Professional Series is minimal and the drums are very easy to set up. I would have no hesitation in recommending Premier products to all pipe band drummers and drum corps." Mick O’Neill Fife Constabulary Pipe Band
"The Revolution Series drums set a new benchmark in sound and build quality and will surely consolidate Premier’s position as the leading designer and manufacturer of marching drums." James Moore Kidsgrove Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps

DEMANDING PERFORMANCE These two words have powerful meaning in the context of contemporary marching arts: ‘Demand’ means many hours of rehearsal to perfect a few moments of music and movement; it means dedication, commitment and physical endurance from player and instrument. ‘Performance’ means passion, communication and faultless consistency in everything you do. You demand performance from your instrument and because Premier understands these concepts we can help you reach for your goals and be the very best that you can be.

REVOLUTIONARY TIMES MULTI-TENORS To achieve the high-tuning required by the modern ensemble, Revolution Series multi-tenors feature TDT technology that diffuses the lug tension over a greater area. Reduction in focused tension relieves stress to both lug and drum. For a noticeable weight reduction and increased strength to the shell, the composite reinforcing rings are unique to Revolution Series multi-tenors.
SINGLE TENOR DRUMS The Revolution Series single tenor drums utilise Premier’s unique TDT technology. The low mass, low contact tension lug design provides minimal shell contact and greater resonance, allowing the shell to speak clearly. The innovative design diffuses focused tension over a greater area, relieves stress to both lug and shell and reduces the overall weight of the instrument.

UNIQUE HERITAGE Throughout the world of marching music, the musicianship and pageantry of the bands of Her Majesty’s Forces is recognised as second to none. Premier has for decades supplied the drums and percussion instruments to these and many bands around the world that follow the tradition and repertoire of British military music. Over many years Premier has worked closely with the armed forces to develop products that meet specific requirements in sound, appearance and performance. Military percussion instruments must meet superior expectations on parade and deliver ultimate reliability in the field. No other manufacturer can claim this lineage and faithful partnership with traditional marching music.

PREMIER DRUMSTICKS Since the launch of Premier’s ‘Label Series’ sticks in 2010 we have been asked many times to produce the sticks with coloured shafts, so for 2012 are proud to introduce five new and improved professional stick models for pipe band and marching band: Red Label Black Label Green Label White Label Traditional Hickory Making a good pair of sticks begins by selecting the best wood possible, so Premier uses only the finest grades of Canadian maple and American heartwood hickory. Every dowel is hand inspected to ensure the grain is straight and free from any defects
0544-GL
0550-WL
before being turned in state-of-the-art lathes by Canadian craftsmen. Black Label, Red Label and Green Label sticks are machined in Canadian maple with a long smooth taper and oval bead. These light and quick sticks offers perfect control, rebound and balance, and are ideal for the high-pitch definition and snare response characteristic of the pipe band snare drum. White Label and Traditional Hickory sticks are suitable for drummers who prefer a fuller sound with added punch. Manufactured from American heartwood hickory and featuring a white coloured or clear lacquered shaft, these excellent sticks offer a traditional look and feel with great response and projection.

CEREMONIAL MACES The ceremonial Drum Majors mace is seen as a symbol of music and military discipline around the world. The position of Drum Major originated in the British Army with Corps of Drums in the 1600’s. Military groups performed mostly duty calls and battle signals during that period, and a fife and drum corps, directed by the Drum Major, would use short pieces to communicate to field units. With the arrival of military concert bands and pipe bands around the 18th 22
century, the position of the Drum Major was adapted to those ensembles. Traditionally, a military Drum Major would be responsible for defending the drummers and bandsmen whilst maintaining the discipline, dress standards and choreographed marching movements for all Corps of Drums members. The Drum Majors position is earned and he or she is held in very high regard. Sometimes

upon retirement the drum major would be presented with his mace as a keepsake and commemoration of their service. Beautifully crafted and hand finished, Premier Maces feature an impressive large head with raised facets in brilliant chrome surmounted by a crown. These attractive, finely balanced maces are available in two lengths, with either cords or chains as standard. To be the correct length a mace should fit under his or her chin by one or two inches.
