The bloodlines of the HTS 800 and HTS 400 can be traced back across the decades with an impeccable championship winning pedigree and a spirit that harkens back hundreds of years. To create the latest incarnation of the HTS pipe band drum Premier has taken the proven DNA of its predecessors and engineered further improvement in operation, performance and design and once again achieved new standards in sound and build quality. No other pipe band drum delivers the dynamic clarity, precise articulation, clear projection and full tone of the HTS 800 and HTS 400 that in your hands are proud additions to the family and will carry the Premier name and the names of future champions to victory for years to come.

"The HTS 800 is the most amazing snare drum I have ever played. The features on this drum mean that I can set it up to produce the ultimate sound giving me the best performance possible with improved dynamics and awesome projection. The unique top and bottom snare mechanisms provide the rich snare response and clarity that I need to allow me to perform at the top level for indoor and outdoor performances.

In the development of this drum, there has been no compromises. The user-friendly way in which the drum can be tensioned and tuned to perfection says it all. I am proud to have been a part in the development of the new HTS 800 and am more excited than ever to get out there to compete and perform on what I would say is the most advanced pipe band snare drum in the world. It's all about the sound you want." Jim Kilpatrick MBE - Shotts & Dykehead
