GMS Introduces 15th Anniversary Snare Drum
January 17, 2002
The GMS Drum Co. is introducing a new line of limited-edition snare drums to commemorate 15 years of drum making. The
15th Anniversary Snare Drum shells are made of highly polished, 1/16"-thick hand-hammered copper with solid reinforcement rings. This
construction, along with GMS's Grand Master Series lug design, give these drums a live and sensitive voice, with
headroom and plenty of bite.
The drums are available in 5x14 and 6*x14 sizes for drumset, and a 6*x14 model specially designed for orchestral use. All models are fitted with
die-cast hoops, a special 15th Anniversary badge and Puresound snares, and each drum will be hand-signed and dated by company founders
Rob Mazzella and Tony Gallino.
GMS will take orders on these drums only during 2002.
"Fifteen years is a significant milestone for any business," says GMS President Rob Mazzella. "We wanted to create a very special drum that
reflects our uncompromising dedication to quality over those years, as well as our ongoing commitment to the drumming community into the years
ahead."
