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" Steel Snare Drum, Chrome is a versatile main snare for clear, responsive playing across varied musical styles. Its 0.8mm steel shell produces a bright, cutting tone with crisp attack, powerful projection, and enhanced sustain, helping your snare remain defined within a live mix.
The 14" x 5.5" dimensions provide a balanced response and wide tuning range, giving you plenty of scope to shape the drum around your playing. Its thin shell also provides the sensitivity needed for ghost notes and subtle grooves, while hand-selected 24-strand snare wires produce an active snare buzz without masking the drum's natural tone. Add 1.5mm triple-flange hoops for a more open, resonant response, and you have a flexible snare for detailed playing, cutting backbeats, and dynamic accents.
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.

The steel shell gives this snare a bright, articulate voice with the projection needed to remain clear within a live mix. Its 0.8mm construction delivers a cutting tone, crisp attack, and enhanced sustain, providing plenty of definition for pronounced backbeats and dynamic accents. This bright character is particularly effective at medium to high tunings, where the drum can deliver the clarity needed to stand apart from the rest of your kit. At the same time, its versatile response means you're not restricted to one style, making it a practical choice when your playing covers a range of musical settings.
At 0.8mm thick, the steel shell is designed to provide plenty of sensitivity as well as projection. That responsive character helps ghost notes and subtle grooves speak clearly, giving you room to bring quieter details into your playing alongside stronger accents. Hand-selected 24-strand snare wires complement this response by producing a more active snare buzz while leaving space for the drum's natural tone. This balance of sensitivity and articulation helps the snare respond across different playing dynamics, making it useful when your parts move between detailed patterns, controlled grooves, and harder-hitting backbeats.
The 14” x 5.5” dimensions provide a balanced response and wide tuning range, giving you flexibility when shaping the snare around different styles and playing situations. Its bright steel-shell character is particularly suited to medium and higher tunings when you want plenty of cut and definition. The versatile dimensions also make it a practical main snare for drummers who need one drum to handle different performance requirements. Combined with its crisp attack, strong projection, and sensitive response, this tuning flexibility lets you adjust the snare while retaining the clear, articulate character at the centre of its sound.
The 1.5mm triple-flange steel hoops provide a slightly more open and resonant response than thicker hoops, complementing the sustain of the steel shell. Eight low-mass lugs provide the shell hardware, while a Premier snare strainer completes the mechanism. A coated batter head and clear resonant head provide the playing surfaces. The polished chrome shell finish gives the drum a timeless appearance designed to complement a wide range of kit finishes, with matching chrome hardware completing the look. Together, these features make it an adaptable primary snare with a bright, responsive tonal character.
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.
