To all those asking about the mix. A lot of the sound your hearing is actually the room. Big open rooms like that record drums well. I garuntee if they recorded them in a small dead room they would sound wwaayyy different. The room is everything with drums. That said they tune well and they all play fairly well which helps. Great drums from BDC. Basically premier revamped. But better. Kieth at BDC designed a snare years ago called the BEAST that was absolutely insane. Back when with Premier. Keep the great vids coming. Always wonder though why BDC uses birch almost exclusively with the kits.

He had recently made the change and he showed me his newest kit in his home studio. I didn’t ask him to play them (it was early on Saturday morning and he’d only had a little sleep.) What I noticed was the quality of craftsmanship of the drums. I still haven’t played any British Drum Company products in person, but hope to soon. Thanks for another great review.

Good lord man... these guys are like American Top 40 with Kasey Kasem because the hits just keep on coming. That is some SERIOUS eye candy. BDC is the only company I've ever seen that can make a "Duco"-style finish look not only great, but actually desirable. That's no small feat in MY case because I've never been into that at all. Every time I see good pictures of their drums it just drives home my belief that BDC is to this era of drum building what Sonor was from the mid to late 80's.

I owned two sets of Premier Drums, "British" made! A 1970 set of Birch, 9"x14" yes NINE INCH, 16"x16" and a 22"x16" the second set was a 1972 Premier 3 ply African Mahogany shell drums, with Beechwood glue rings, that were Very Thick!! 9"x13", 16"x16",and a 22"x16. The go too snare was a RARE 9"x13" all brass shell, with an inner ply shell of Birch wood! They had also made a "Rock 9" snare that was 9"x14" either all Brass shell, or a Brass Shell with the Birch inner ply. These snare drums were comparable to no other snare i had ever had. If you can find a Premier all brass shell with the inner Birch plied shell BUY IT! They were made in the 1970's, possibly into the early 1980's
