See live pricesOverview
The Premier Standard Double Tom Holder serves as a central mounting solution for drum configurations requiring two rack toms. Engineered for stability and ease of adjustment, it is primarily intended for use with Premier's mid-range and vintage-inspired shell packs. The unit is constructed from heavy-duty metal to withstand the vibrations of regular play while maintaining the position of the drums.
Technical Features
The holder is defined by its 1-inch (25.4mm) down tube, which fits into standard bass drum mounts or heavy-duty cymbal stand bases. It utilizes two adjustable L-arms to secure the toms, allowing for independent positioning of each drum. A notable feature is the inclusion of a 7/8-inch accessory arm socket, which enables the user to add a cymbal boom or an additional percussion mount to the centre of the setup without requiring an extra stand.
Compatibility and Suitability
This hardware is specifically designed for the Premier Artist, Artist Heritage, and Revolution ranges. Because it uses a 1-inch down tube and standard L-arm mounts, it provides a consistent fit for these specific shell types. It is particularly suited for drummers who prefer a traditional two-up, one-down or two-up, two-down configuration and wish to minimise their hardware footprint by using the accessory socket for cymbals.
Comparison to Alternatives
Compared to single-purpose mounts like the Tama HTS88W Roadpro Single Tom Stand, the Premier Standard Double Tom Holder offers a more compact solution for mounting two drums simultaneously. While it shares some design philosophies with high-end hardware like the Sonor 6000 series in terms of robust build quality, it is positioned as a practical, standard-tier component. For drummers seeking specialised hi-hat setups, the Yamaha HS740A provides dedicated functionality that complements the Premier mounting system in a full kit environment.
