Is yours a 10lug 20?
You want the 14 too, right?
Decisions decisions :? . They always pop up at just the..............Not quite right time :roll: .
12,13,16 kits were common at the time of production, you might get a couple of hundred for the extra 10 :| .
Good Luck, Cheers :D

10 lug 20.
I'd keep the 14.
Doubtful orphans would do well. This is the most rare color. Marquis in general are hard to find though, a lot of guys have jelly bean kits so....who knows. The snare might orph well.
You are right about the timing though.

Most rare finish perhaps aside from the elusive and beautiful walnut!

Those 20x18 Marquis BDs are very hard to find. You got yourself a beautiful kit there.

Those Walnut kits are a dream kit. People that have them don't want to sell them either.
Remember the ebay silver sparkle kit that started this David? That was a 20 x 18.
Peter has a Silver sparkle kit he is selling, not sure of the sizes though.

I know, I know! I had a SS Marquis kit and looked for a 20" BD for over 3 years. Then 6 mos after I sell 2 Marquis kits and invest in some Sonors, that 20" kit pops up on the 'bay! Ahhh!

Anyway, you can still only play one kit at a time, which kinda bugs me... 'cause I have too many!

Wait til you get a load of those low profile die-cast Marquis rims. Those are sexy, man!

Have you tried the regular Signia's Dave? You prefer the Marquis over them?
I am completely enjoying this Signia kit. I haven't spent this much time playing in a long time.
Someone just posted a video of Carey playing a Marquis kit on the facebook Premier page.

I started with a Signia kit and "much" preferred the Marquis over the regular Signias. But then again, I have sold every re-ring kit I've ever had in favor of straight up shells. I prefer thin shells without re-rings like the Signia Marquis and S-Classix. Loud and clear... with great sustain! But that's just me...

IMO drum shell manufacturing has improved so much over the years that there is really no structural need for re-rings anymore.

It's great to hear your excited about playing again! And it's cool to hear that Premier might get some traction again. They had some great ideas in the 90's that just got squashed by bad business decisions.
