The Premier drum company in England produced various cymbal lines.
Zyn
- These cymbals were made from 1950 to 1984. The Super Zyn series was introduced in 1968 as a top-quality cymbal series, albeit in limited range. They were made from a B20. These were produced at their Leicester factory from purchased sheet metal. The series was discontinued because at that time Premier became the distributor for Zildjian. 1
Krut
- These were made in the 1950s and 1960s. This was the cheapest of the cymbal lines that Premier produced. The series was renamed to 2 Star Zyn in the late 1970s. 1
