To commemorate its 20th anniversary, GMS Drum Co. has created a very special limited-edition snare drum. The GMS 20th Anniversary Snare Drum features a nine-ply ash shell comprised of eight plies of North American white Ash with an outer ply of highly figured North American olive ash burl. Eight-ply North American maple retainer rings are beveled on both upper and lower edges to mellow sonic reflection inside the shell.
In a nod to fine vintage drums, the GMS 20th Anniversary Snare Drum is fitted with eight lugs, giving it a warmer tone and slightly softer feel than today's standard ten-lug models. With the vent hole repositioned, the drum has a fatter sound, balancing the significant high-end cut delivered by the nine-plus-eight ply configuration.
Finishing touches include GMS's new Special Edition snare drum lugs and classy 20th anniversary logo embedded in the lacquer.
Orders for the limited-edition GMS 20th Anniversary Snare Drum will be taken through 2007. MSRP $1,250.
