It's about time you go for the Olympic Gold!


Update: a helpful eBayer wrote: 

Hi the brand is Olympic. It just happened to be a Premier owned company and they made the drums in the Premier factory. It's not Premier Olympic, just Olympic. Regards, H

Good News!

OH BOY !! 

and, 

Yee haw !!


You are looking at a used vintage 

1970s OLYMPIC DRUMS 5.5x14 gold sparkle snare drum. 

Made in England at the PREMIER factory

I think this is a birch or mahogany shell. I am not sure which.   

The size is 5.5x14. 

Another helpful eBayer told me PREMIER never made a 5x14 snare drum.

This one has Serial number 1722. 

Year is about 1970 give or take a couple years. 

The only problem with the drum is it wants to be played.  

This Olympic snare drum is an eight lug drum.  I like 8 lug drums. 

This snare drum would be a great drum when you get it.

I think this one sounds good, and is nicely responsive.


The aftermarket 16 strand snare wire set is still present, straight, and good. 

The bottom snare head is a like new EVANS GENERA RESO 300. 

The top batter head is a used EVANS genera dry white head. 

The 16 square head tension rods are all here with washers. 

There are a couple of scuffs in a panel or two. 

Photos show most of the flaws. 

And it has a scratch or two. 

The chrome is clean and looks good, but you can further detail it yourself.

I always say, It could use a better cleaning.

We left that to you.

This drum itself weighs 5 pounds and 13.0 ounces. 

If you need a drum like this, don’t miss out. 

I've had this drum for many years and have not been using it. 

I never had the matching set of gold sparkle drums. 

Maybe it is now your turn. 


If you have any more helpful information, I’d be happy to post it.

As shown.



Please ask about condition.....
if the photos do not seem to tell the whole story,  
they are part of the description, 

ask, before you bid, please.

Any other questions?
