18 Signia kick. Don't see them often.

I'm sure you won't notice those seams either.

Edited for the retarded use of "seems" where "seams" should have been.

WOW - that's one MAGNIFICENT kit!!!!!!

And for the price?!? It's a steEl...

;)

Honestly - a Premier Signia with an 18"bd (in this wrap) would be on the top of my list for the next purchase, if I had the cash...

18x18 Goki. That drum could start me down the road of 18 kicks.

Really odd to have the gold lugs from the Walnut and Anniversary kits but sure looks nice. I was on the right track when I was changing mine out. Really goes nice with the badge.

I will never get over the prices these kits go for. Once in awhile a kit will sit at 3000 from some uninformed seller but for the most part, they can be stolen.
In my opinion, some of the greatest drums I've ever sat behind and can be had for a fraction of some of the other over hyped kits.

How is your journey coming along Goki...

Yesterday, we've managed to visit Steve Maxwell's drum shop, and museum...

Some great kits to be seen - and plenty of craviotto kits as well...

Personally, I fell in love with a Pork Pie bop kit - the best looking of them all...

Ummm.... YESS!!!

Really not sure that is an 18x18" bass drum.... he is probably measuring the hoops as well. Premier did not make 18x18" Signia bass drums or floor toms. But an 18x16" is a nice size as well. Or it's not an original Signia drum at all and just re-lugged?

It sure looks 18 squared. That was the first thing that caught my attention, how much longer it seems than my 18x16.

Sooner or later, we're gonna get you.

18" kicks come looking for you, when the time is right, and I am hearing:

"Kelly Kelly Kelly...

...flip the Genistas and bring these home. ;)

My thought exactly Greg. That drum sure looks deep. Or those pictures create a pretty convincing optical illusion.

I'm afraid none of it could happen fast enough Cliff or I just might have considered it. An 18x18....that drum looks bad ass.

Kelly, I wish You were next to me at Steve Maxwell's, when the seller there showed the 18"x12" Craviotto bass drum (birch)...

You would have walked away out of the store, and bought these in a jiffy - trust me...

An 18"bd can sound like a cannon tuned low... These are very good drums (the Signia series). I'm sure that the 18"bd would be the "perfect toy" to play with...

I, like Cliff, can't wait to see You joined "the club"..... ;)
