GMS Drum Co. has created a very special limited-edition snare drum to commemorate
its 20th anniversary. The GMS 20th Anniversary Snare Drum features a 9-ply ash shell comprised of 8 plies of North American
white ash with an outer ply of highly figured North American olive ash burl. 8-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 8 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 high-gloss lacquer finish.
This is the 20th snare built in this limited
run.
