Premier recently announced a special new kit, designed in collaboration with long-time endorser and Iron Maiden drum legend Nicko McBrain. The result is the Spirit Of Maiden kit, complete with custom 'Eddie' finish and Iron Maiden badges. The kit is the first of a handful of Nicko-related products still to come.
This week we took delivery of the very first Spirit Of Maiden kit in the country for review. We wanted to share it with you all, so enjoy this detailed look at the new kit, filmed in our brand new, state-of-the-art studio.
