I think there probably some of the best drums on the market today.The R&D really shines through. The fit ,finish, and tunning range is incredible. The plating of the metal components is stunning as well.The new finishes for 2022 are a masterpiece. Can't wait to get my hands on a kit very soon.Im sure it will be worth the wait.
Thanks for the great episode & insight into the British drum co. , also highly Stoke when I found out that 2 of my favourite drummers had made endorsements with BDC , & that’s none other than Jim Kilpatrick & Nicko mcbrain , Damm legends
Brilliant vid , I’d bloody love to work somewhere like this I’d be in my element , it’s nice to see people enjoying there work .I have a lounge series season on order with a maverick snare can’t wait 🙏👍
I worked at Premier Percussion in South Wigston, Leicester from the age of 16-19 (1996-98) it was a great job. My job was mounting them (4 pegs on a big wheel) then sanding and waxing the ends of the drums as they rotated at speed. Quite dangerous, I don’t see that happening in this clip so maybe a new method has been introduced?
I remember being in the car as a kid going past the premier factory and seeing the massive kit on show with 2 bass drums. Think it’s a either the Tesco or Lidl/wickes now. What a shame

Thanks BDC for these amazing masterpieces 🙌
Great stuff. Really enjoyed that 👍🏻
This is a great video to discover. Really interested in BDC and to see the process is fascinating 👍

As a Leicestershire bloke (and drummer) I think it's a shame Premier finished. What about the badges on these? Upside down Premier!

It surprises me you guys drill all of the shells by hand and not employed a CNC machine for this. Awesome vid!

Fella with beard looks like the crimson jacketed landlord !
Sunbeam Tiger made in UK! I’m makes great stuff!!
Is that Tim Healy narrating?
Or Brian Johnson?
Beautiful, but I’ll stick with my A&F field kit and stainless steel club set
The badge is just an upside down Premier one..........
You don’t get the connection of the two companies, do you?
