Inspired by the classic configurations of the past, Genista Heritage offer the same distinctive sound and look of the original Genista in the form of a vintage inspired set-up for drummers looking for a stand-out kit.
The original Genista has long been synonymous with exceptional sound performance amongst drummers. Its classic sound the result of the first unsupported birch shell to be produced by Premier. Its distinctive look derived from a now iconic individual tension lug design. Like the original, the all-new Genista Heritage embraces these core aspects and returns to that much sought-after Genista sound and look in a new range of retro configurations.
Genista’s unsupported premium all-birch shells are unmistakable in their sound. It has a full-bodied attack, and a fast decay to make it clear and precise with a real cut. The tom and snare shells are 5.6mm, 7-ply thick whilst the slightly thicker 7.2mm, 9-ply bass shell packs greater volume and punch.
Embracing the many innovations that Premier have pioneered over the years, the tom shells adopt the original 6mm undersizing on their diameter for easier, more-positive tuning and even clearer sound quality. Like all Genista shells, the 45-degree bearing edge is precision cut to improve sound and tuning.
The most distinguishable feature of the original Genista was its tension lug design. The bold castings a firm favourite for many drummers. Genista Heritage returns to the larger bass lug, whilst the snare features the famed double-end lug. All castings have been retooled from the original factory drawings for maximum authenticity, performance, and aesthetic. Each lug is subsequently fitted to their respective shell using an isolating, moulded plinth to guarantee a larger than life, uncompromising tone.
