Here is a piece of history - Charlie Persip's vintage gold sparkle Premier drum set! See Steve's notes below and check out the linked video for more details on the provenance behind these drums. This is the 'C58' outfit, which is the 18" bass drum option of the standard 58. Not just any 18; a shallow, punchy and portable 12x18"! These drums feature a 3-ply mahagony shell with beech reinforcement rings and are sized 12x18", 8x12", 14x14", 14x14", and 5x14".
Steve's Notes: This is a fantastic set with a great back story. Check out the video for the story and a demo. https://youtu.be/HFhgWh3a00s?si=uvXZ7eF1Jm2tmbea
