Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 4 of 5

Pros

Revel in honouring Britain's favourite drumming personality while simultaneously making a shrewd investment.

Cons

It's designed to be played, but will gigging applications be limited to Who tribute bands?

The bottom line

Premier, Britain's oldest, biggest and most tenacious drum company, has not always played on its immense history. Evoking the spirit of the most characterful drummer and drum kit in rock history is a great start. A superb effort has been made to ensure the graphics are authentic and let's hope we see Lily kits out there being played in the wild spirit of Moonie, and not all stored away as investments.
