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."
