- Here I play little bit of 1930's British Dance Band drumming on a beautiful drum set of the day. It's a large kit with plenty of traps plus 3 doubled head toms, which were becoming very popular at the time.The toms are well in evidence when I play along to the 78rpm recording of 'Jungle Fever' by Harry Roy and his Dance Band. The Temple Blocks come into their own on the second track 'My Chinatown/Limehouse Blues also from Harry Roy and the band.
The kit is a 1936 Premier Swingster model Console Kit from my British Drum Museum collection. It has, what Premier called at the time, a 'Wonder Finish' and you can see why as even after almost 90 years the gold still sparkles! Together with that and the applied 'Diamond Brilliants' this is certainly what is described as a 'Full Dress Set' and most likely would have belonged to a drummer of some note in a popular dance orchestra of the day. It's quite a kit to set up too as you can see from the speeded up filming at the beginning but once set up it's a lot of fun to play.
I hope you enjoy this video and thanks to Harry for filming it. Don't forget to subscribe to this channel as there's much more to come. Many thanks.

Phenomenal! I also love the tassels on the overhang cymbals.
i just can´t get enough of you´re videos, my dad R.I.P loved them too
It's just a joy to watch Sticky play. His smile is infectious. I really enjoy learning and hearing.
This episode of Next Level Chops with Sticky is again in UA-cam! I missed this episode. Thank mister Sticky Wicket for uploading these beautifull videos! 😊
Simply a beautiful vintage kit and so fun to learn about it and its applications. Stellar performance Sticky
Hey thanks Jeff, how are you doing mate? Let's catch up someday soon eh?
@@stickywicketdrums absolutely mate.
I love you guys
Beautiful drum set.
our studio has a set of those dragonmouths
Hi hat is dryer than a popcorn fart. Great now I got a whole orchestra stuck in my head.
0:03 WHAT IS THAT? I have something very similar, painted skin, big rivets, rings on side. It has some loose stuff inside, gives a kind of snare sound. Never seen another, know nothing about mine, would like to know more about it. P.S. Oh, great playing, of course, very snappy. (Edit) O.K. just watched the Leedy kit video, I understand I have a China tom, well I never, wonder how old it is.
4:34 shotuin beavers.. justin bieber!
Do you an idea how much this set cost originally?
That’s a good question. I shall see if I can find a similar set up in a Premier catalogue of that year.
