Ever fancied yourself battering a drum kit like Keith Moon? Well, now you need dream no more – Premier has reissued a limited edition ‘Spirit of Lily’ drumset in tribute to the legendary "Pictures of Lily" kit made by the company for Keith Moon in the 60s.
The original kit has been painstakingly researched to ensure absolute authenticity of the new kit. The ‘Spirit of Lily’ drumset features Premier Series Birch drums with authentic replica artwork finish with Premier Series lugs, fittings and die-cast hoops. The set up matches the original 8-piece setup and is made up of:
14" x 8" Mounted Toms x 3
16" x 16" Floor Toms x 2
22" x 14" Bass drums x 2
14" x 5.5" Steel Snare Drum
Each kit comes complete with accompanying Collector’s Edition colour booklet.
It’s a limited edition, available for just 14 months (one for each year that Moon worked with Premier) and judging by prices we’ve found online, will cost you between £4,000 and £4,500.

God, how camp! (in a good way.)
I was just wondering about retro drum kits the other day, if maybe you lot would put something up on Gretsch limited edition 70’s drumkits and voila, you put up something more fantastic.
I learned to play the drums by having lessons with an old jazz drumming teacher. His kit was a 4 piece Premier, it was amazing ,the sound was like listening to a record, the drum kit virtually played for you. Don’t know what camp has got to do with a Keith Moon drum kit. I would be proud to own a Gretsch drumkit. I had a 5 piece Rogers kit but regretfully sold it several years later.
