A blended shell comprised of 2-ply North American birch and 2-ply North American maple, beech support rings and a 3mm undersized tom diameter. The Elite’s new thin shell construction, at 4.8mm thick, relays every nuance of your live performance.
 
Redefined in Premier’s centennial year, the all-new Elite shell formula is the result of an extensive period of research and development. Working closely with producers, engineers and drummers, various shell thicknesses and ply combinations were experimented with. The aim, to discover a blend that produced the best sound for live situations and studio recording.
 
The result is a build that takes its inspiration from Premier’s revered thin shell design legacy. A 4-ply, 4.8mm construction with traditional 1” beech support rings that preserve roundness and stabilise the shell further. The plies are blended in equal measure of premium North American birch and maple – a nod towards the Gen-X hybrid shell technology pioneered by Premier.
