1980’s, Premier “1026” Snare Drum. Some notes on adjusting the replacement gut snares, tensioning the heads, and on using a digital DrumDial

1980’s, Premier “1026” Snare Drum. An experiment in making and fitting “traditional” gut snares

New Project – Premier “1026” Snare Drum. Disassembly and strip-down. “What do we have here?…”

Having recently decided to "have a go" at drumming - I've acquired a second-hand vintage steel snare drum, and will break it down so I can recondition it, and learn how it's put together.
