History is repeating itself with the relaunch of Genista Series. Through the '90s, Genista was the first choice for aspiring and professional drummers alike. Reintroduced in 2010, the Genista Series remains classic and distinctive in its sound and design but with more options available than ever before. Genista shells are available in the classic 100% American birch and now 100% American maple. The shells are 5.6mm 7-ply thick and like all professional Premier drums, the toms and floor toms are 3mm undersized for easier, more-positive tuning and clearer sound quality. The shell finish is impeccable with a choice of stunning sparkle lacquers, high gloss lacquers or classic wraps and all internally lacquered. What makes the Genista truly iconic is the distinctive lug design, finished in Diamond Chrome and perfectly complimented by the legendary 'P' badge. American maple shells are fitted with a new die-cast ISO mount in Diamond Chrome whilst the American birch feature the more traditional mounting upon the shell to enhance the quality of the birch shell.
