The original and distinctive look of Genista, with a richer, warmer sound designed for players looking for the more open tone of maple shells.
The highly regarded original Genista kits were revered amongst drummers thanks to their exceptional sound qualities. Expanding on this legacy, the all-new Genista Maple offers great versatility for drummers who seek the richer, warmer tone more associated with maple shells whilst retaining the distinctive look of the timeless, yet bold, tension lug design that made it such a favourite for so many.
Genista Maple’s unsupported premium North American maple shells offer a balanced, articulate tone with exceptional warmth and incredible low-end punch. The tom and snare shells are 5.6mm, 7-ply thick whilst the slightly thicker 7.2mm, 9-ply bass shell packs greater sustain and low-end punch.
Like the original Genista, the tom shells are 6mm undersized on their diameter, one of the many innovations Premier have pioneered over the years, which offer a more-positive tuning and even clearer sound quality. All Genista shells are precision cut and feature a 45-degree bearing edge which helps to further increase attack, resonance and sustain for optimum sound performance.
Without question, the most distinguishable feature of the original Genista was its tension lug design. The bold castings are a firm favourite for many drummers. Genista Classic 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.
The bold, distinctive, separate tension lug castings that adorned the original Genista return once again, retooled from the original factory drawings and specifications for maximum authenticity. The larger bass lug and the famed double-end snare lug designs are subsequently fitted to their respective shell using an isolating, moulded plinth to guarantee a larger than life, uncompromising tone.
