OWN A PIECE OF ROCK 'N ROLL HISTORY
THE WHO'S KEITH MOON REPLICA PREMIER DRUM
SET
Spirit of Lily / Pictures of Lily
Drum Kit
This item has extremely limited availability. We've
been told there are fewer than 6 brand new sets available worldwide.
The price here of $5399 is lower than what the dealers have paid,
simply because it's the end of the line for this set. It's very
unlikely that Premier will ever build them again.
Free shipping on this item helps
make this a great deal, because you would pay a lot to ship them --
$500 or more, depending on where they're going. That's because to
properly ship them, the drums are packed in 8 boxes and are shipped on
a pallet to insure safety. Just think, if one was broken, replacement
would be very difficult.

Here's the press
release for the Spirit of Lily/Pictures of Lily Keith Moon replica
drum set:
Timed
to match the re-release of the "Two Sides of Moon" album on July 3,
2006 on Castle Music by the late Keith Moon, Premier Percussion Ltd
offered a special, limited edition drum kit,
Spirit of Lily which is named after the Who's 1967 single
"Pictures of Lily." The single also appeared on "Meaty Beaty Big and
Bouncy," a collection of the group's singles. The drum kit retailed
for £4,995 ($8000 here in the US), and featured the original artwork
and exact drum sizes played by Moon.
The
drumset uses Premier Series Birch drums with Premier Series lugs,
fittings and die-cast hoops. The set up emulates the original
eight-piece setup comprised of three, 14 X 8-inch mounted toms, two 16
X 16-inch floor toms, two 22 X 14-inch bass drums and 14 X 5.5-inch
steel snare drum. At the time of release, the kits were projected to
be available for a period of 14 months, one month to represent each of
the 14 years of Keith Moon's relationship with Premier.
The
Spirit of Lily drumset was officially authorized by the estate of
Keith Moon and also by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who.
The first set made by Premier was slated for auction to raise funds
for The Who's Teenage Cancer Trust Charity.
Moon, who passed away at the age of 32 on September 7th, 1978, was one
of the most influential musicians in Rock history, Keith Moon is
Premier's most famous endorser of all time. Moon signed an exclusive
endorsement agreement with the Premier Drum Company on September 6th,
1965 and it was to be a relationship that lasted his all too short
lifetime.
