Key Features
The Premier Elite 18" 3pc Shell Pack is designed to meet the requirements of the professional drummer. Each shell is constructed from a carefully balanced 2-ply North American birch and 2-ply North American maple formula. This ultimate, blended shell although thinner in its construction, delivers an authentically natural tone that comes alive on stage and in the studio.
The 3mm undersized tom shells feel articulate during tom fills and offer great tuning capabilities. This design allows the drumheads to sit flatter over the bearing edge, improving the tone and sustain. This is further enhanced through the drum's low-profile ISO mounting sustain, allowing the toms to sing with no unnecessary contact.
Elite finishes aren't just for aesthetics. Each offers unique benefits that enhance the performance of the shell. Natural baby blue is the perfect choice for any drummer who desires a simple but stylish "no frills" finish that looks just as good as it sounds.
Please Note: No hardware is included in this purchase. It is shown in the photos for display purposes only.

The Elite series was originally launched in 2003, and it continues to be synonymous with professional drummers who seek the very best in quality and sound performance. This series was redefined in Premier’s centennial year, featuring an all-new Elite shell formula. Premier worked closely with producers, engineers, and drummers to ensure the very best in quality. During this process, a variety of shell types and ply combinations were experimented with, until the Elite was formed. The overall aim, to discover a blend that produced the best possible sound.
The 4-ply, 4.8mm construction features an equal measure of North American birch and North American Maple. These shells also include a traditional 1’’ beech support ring to enhance their durability and sound quality.
The combination of a thin construction and the blended ply design ensures each shell delivers a full-bodied tone with a great level of high and low frequencies. This adds weight and presence, making the shells perfectly suited for studio and live situations.
Every feature on the Elite Shell Pack has a unique purpose. Whether that be to improve tuning, enhance player experience, or increase the kit’s sonic qualities. The stylish, deep chrome low-mass Elite lugs provide maximum shell resonance, whilst the 2.3mm triple-flange hoops greatly reduce the risk of undesirable overtones.
Our legacy, your future. The perfect blend of heritage and technical innovation, Premier have remained at the forefront of musical instrument design, providing a legendary sound to drummers and percussionists worldwide since 1922.
