However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Premier Artist 14" x 5.5" Birch Snare Drum offers a balanced, versatile sound with clarity, punch, and enough depth for body and resonance while maintaining crisp articulation and a clear, defined attack. Its midrange pitch provides excellent tuning flexibility and strong projection, making it adaptable to almost any musical style. The 7.5mm, 6-ply birch shell delivers a balanced, focused sound with richness and fullness in tone, resonance, and durability, while providing a bright, punchy tone with quick attack, good projection, and shorter sustain, making it ideal for cutting through mixes. This snare features a 24-strand snare wire that provides a crisp, snappy attack with enhanced snare buzz due to increasing contact with the bottom head, resulting in a brighter, more pronounced snare sound. 1.5mm triple-flange drum hoops offer a more open and resonant sound that gives the drum a more natural, expressive sound. Finished in an Antique Ash outer ash veneer with chrome hardware and Premier's iconic P badge, this snare is a perfect addition to any drummer's setup.
The included 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum Soft Case makes it easy to transport, store and protect your drum with confidence. A 20mm thick padded interior keeps it shielded from knocks, while red Premier piping and an embroidered logo bring standout style. With its snug fit, durable handle and adjustable strap, it's a smart, secure way to move your snare wherever it needs to go.

A 14" x 5.5" snare drum offers a balanced, versatile sound, making it one of the most widely used snare sizes. It delivers clarity and punch with enough depth for body and resonance, while maintaining crisp articulation and a clear, defined attack. The pitch sits comfortably in the midrange, neither too high nor too deep, allowing for excellent tuning flexibility and adaptability. With strong projection and a sharp, responsive crack, it can adapt to almost any musical style.
Birch shells, known for their bright, punchy tone and quick attack, offer excellent projection and a naturally EQ’d sound with reduced overtones, making them ideal for clarity and control in both live and recording settings. A 7.5mm, 6-ply birch shell enhances these characteristics by delivering a balanced and focused sound, combining richness, fullness, and durability. The shell’s thickness boosts projection and attack, producing a sharp, defined crack with good sustain, while the 6-ply construction adds strength and stability under heavy playing. This combination results in a versatile, powerful drum that stands out in the mix and suits a wide range of musical styles.
This snare drum features a 24-strand snare wire that provides a good balance between snare response and shell tone, offering a crisp, snappy attack with an enhanced buzz character. The increased number of strands results in more contact with the bottom head, producing a brighter, more pronounced snare sound. This added contact also contributes to a fuller, more resonant tone that enriches the drum's overall sound. While they emphasise the snare response, 24-strand wires still allow the natural tone of the shell to come through.
1.5mm triple-flange drum hoops offer a slightly less focused, more open, and resonant sound compared to thicker hoops. Their thinner construction provides greater flexibility, allowing the drumhead to vibrate more freely, which enhances shell resonance and contributes to a fuller tone with a slightly brighter character. This gives the drum a more natural, expressive sound, making thinner hoops ideal for drummers seeking increased resonance and tonal complexity.?
Featuring a Stealth Black finish with black nickel hardware, this snare drum adds a touch of sophistication to any drum kit. Completed with Premier’s iconic P-badge, this drum blends modern craftsmanship with a nod to Premier’s storied history, giving you a snare that stands out for all the right reasons.
Protection that travels well. The Premier Snare Drum Soft Cases are tailored to transport and protect your drums - lightweight, durable, and gig-ready - while maintaining the style, reliability, and trust that drummers depend on from their gear. Featuring a 20mm thick padded interior and 600 denier water-resistant exterior, the Premier Snare Drum Soft Cases protect your drums during transport, ensuring it stays in top condition wherever you take it.
Designed for both style and practicality, this case includes a leather handle with a debossed Premier logo, black nickel zip pullers, and a rubber Premier P-badge for a premium look. The adjustable shoulder strap and sturdy carry handle provide comfortable carrying options. Red Premier piping and the embroidered logo complete the sleek design, while the snug fit ensures your 14" x 5.5" snare drum stays secure during transport or storage. Premier Snare Drum Soft Cases are the perfect accessory to keep your equipment protected for years to come.
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.
