A kit for playing with brushes needs to ooze class and panache. This is not a time for tubthumping, this kind of playing demands finesse and so they’ve brought back a bit of class from days gone by with a discontinued Premier Gen-X kit, made in the UK with a revolutionary birch/maple hybrid shells, and tuned up for a modern jazz sound. Add a soft beater for the kick, a mint-condition Ludwig Acrolite snare, famous for its rich tone, and some of the finest brassware from Meinl, Paste and Sabian, and your ears are in for a luxurious treat.
