The Premier Model 21 is a highly regarded, vintage 14" x 6.5" brass shell snare drum from the 1980s, often praised as a British alternative to the Ludwig Black Beauty. Known for its 10-lug design, beaded shell, and powerful, versatile sound with rich overtones, it is a sought-after piece for collectors and studio drummers alike. It delivers a sharp attack, warm tones, and high projection suitable for various musical styles and features internal twin felt dampening rings to control overtones. This drum has wood hoops that sound great and make for a super nice cross stick. There is some significant patina on this snare but it does not affect the functionality and makes it look super cool.
