Premier 251 Bass Drum Pedal – Vintage Direct Drive Single Kick Pedal (Pre-Owned)
Safe and secure checkout
A solid old-school Premier bass drum pedal, believed to be the Premier 251. This one appears to be the single pedal (not a complete double pedal setup) and it’s been tested as working fine as a normal kick pedal. Great as a spare, for a rehearsal kit, or for anyone who likes the feel of simpler vintage hardware.
What’s included
-
1x Premier bass drum pedal (single)
-
1x Felt beater (fitted)
Condition (from the photos + your notes)
Overall: used / fair condition, fully working.
-
Noticeable tarnishing to the metalwork and general cosmetic wear
-
Light rust / oxidation visible on some hardware (notably around fixings)
-
Beater shaft shows oxidation and the felt beater is worn/aged
-
Footboard shows normal scuffs/surface wear for its age
-
A non-original knob has been added to help hold the direct drive linkage in place (functional, but worth noting for buyers)
Key points (useful for buyers)
-
Direct drive style linkage (vintage Premier feel)
-
Works as a standard single kick pedal
-
Good candidate for a clean-up/service if you want it looking tidier (but it functions as-is)
Why it’s priced/positioned as it is (honest pre-owned note)
This is very much a player-grade pedal rather than a collector piece: it works properly, but the cosmetics, aging, and the added knob mean it should be listed as used and priced accordingly.
