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 10" x 5.5" Birch Snare Drum delivers a bright, high-pitched tone with a punchy, articulate attack and quick decay, making it ideal for fast, precise playing. The birch shell enhances this focused sound with strong projection, a naturally EQ'd tone, and reduced overtones for greater clarity and control. Its small diameter and shallow depth contribute to a sharp, crisp response and shorter sustain, allowing it to cut through mixes effectively. This combination of size and wood type makes it a versatile choice for genres where tight, controlled snare tones are essential. This snare uses a 20-strand snare wire that are a widely used standard on many snare drums, offering a balanced sound that combines crisp snare response with the natural tone of the drum. 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 10" 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.

The 10" x 5.5" snare drum produces a high-pitched, bright, and focused sound due to its smaller diameter and shallow depth. The small 10" diameter gives it a sharp, crisp tone with a punchy, articulate attack, making it ideal for fast, tight playing and “cutting through” mixes. The shallower 5.5" depth results in a shorter sustain and quicker decay, offering a more immediate response and less resonance than deeper snares. While it lacks the body of larger drums, its focused, bright sound and tight, controlled tone make it perfect for genres where clarity and precision are key.
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.
20-strand snare wires are a widely used standard on many snare drums, offering a balanced sound that combines crisp snare response with the natural tone of the drum. They deliver a snappy and articulate sound, allowing individual snare notes to cut through clearly, while still preserving the body and tone of the drum. This balance makes them a versatile option suitable for a range of musical styles.
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.
The mounted shell bracket and memory lock, compatible with any 10.5mm diameter L-rod, allows both drummers and percussionists to easily and securely incorporate this snare drum into their existing setup.
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 10" 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.
