Premier Genista Classic 22" 4pc Shell Pack, Ermine Overview
The Premier Genista Classic 22" 4pc Shell Pack is exactly what it says it is, a classic Premier kit. Going back to Genista's roots, the kit is made from an all-birch design to provide a truly unmistakable sound. Each shell offers an excellent weight and attack with a fast decay that can cut through any mix and ensemble.
The rack and floor tom shells boast the original Genista 6mm under sizing on their diameter. This ensures an easier and more accurate tuning experience, whilst guaranteeing exceptional clarity and definition. All Genista shells are precision cut and feature a 45-degree bearing edge which helps to further increase attack, resonance and sustain for optimum sound performance.
The tension lug design is a favourite feature for many drummers from the original Genista series. All castings have been retooled from the original factory drawings for maximum authenticity, performance, and aesthetic. Each lug is subsequently fitted to their respective shell using an isolating moulded plinth to guarantee a larger than life, uncompromising tone.
Please Note: No hardware is included in this purchase. It is shown in the photos for display purposes only.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionGenista Series
The original Genista kits are renowned in the drumming world for their exceptional performance, sonic quality, and timeless look. The Genista was the first unsupported birch shell to be produced by Premier, offering a classic sound that continues to be admired by all drummers.
The birch build when paired with a distinctive tension lug construction sees Premier return to one of its most revered drum designs. All Genista shells are also precision cut and feature a 45-degree bearing edge which helps to further increase attack, resonance and sustain for optimum sound performance.
Hardware that complements the shells
The Premier Genista features Premier’s bespoke designed brackets with integral memory locks that offer maximum stability and reliability. The inclusion of a low-profile ISO mounting system enhances the tonal resonance of the mounted toms, offering additional sustain whilst reinforcing the classic Genista look. This, when paired with the 2.3mm triple-flange hoops, helps minimise the risk of undesirable overtones for articulate tom fills.
Finishes that pay homage to the predecessor
Every Genista Classic finish pays tribute to the predecessors, with a choice of stain and sparkle high-gloss lacquer finishes. Synonymous with quality, at the heart of each shell is the famous "P" badge. Every Genista shell is also protected with an anti-moisture internal lacquer to preserve and prolong its life in humid environments.
