With the introduction of the long anticipated HTS800 and HTS400 Premier will once more take Pipe Band
snare drum design to the next level.
Premier's investment in tooling and production allows the new HTS800 and HTS400 snare drums to build
upon the success of their predecessors, the HTS700 and HTS350 which have dominated the world of pipe
band drumming for over a decade. Like the HTS700 and HTS350, the HTS800 and HTS400 have been
designed in collaboration with the world's leading Pipe Band drummer, Jim Kilpatrick MBE, and introduce a
number of major features:
• Entirely re-engineered top/internal and bottom/external snare mechanisms combining
added strength, smooth operation and precision adjustment to achieve unparalleled
versatility in tuning and consistency in setting.
• New stainless steel tension bolts to virtually eliminate binding under tension.
• New cast aluminium cage with polished hoops as standard.
• Proven 14" x 12" (HTS800) and 14" x 7" (HTS400) 6mm/6ply 100% Birch with internal
acoustic lacquer process for amazing response and tone.
• Re-profiled bearing edges specifically designed to enhance projection and clarity and
properly seat all manufacturers' heads.
• Specialized new packing system to ensure maximum protection in shipping.
• Comprehensive maintenance and set-up guide included.
• New tailored bag offering optimum protection available as an accessory item.
