!9# GMS Special Edition Rack Tom, 7X8 Silver/Blue Sparkle Fade
GMS Special Edition drums are made up of select 8-ply North American maple with no graduation in the thickness of the shell as the diameter gets larger. After extensive research, GMS decided the thicker shells give the best performance, providing good vibrations in all dynamic situations with little to no distortion or necessity for reinforcement hoops which can cause problems with resonance. The drum shells they came up with are thin enough to give you wide tonal ranges, strong enough to not need reinforcement hoops, but not too thick to raise the frequency to a higher pitch. Another unique aspect of their construction is the staggering in the seam construction so none of the ply seams line up on each other. This cross-laminating process creates an even sturdier drum. One of the more innovative drum companies in the market, GMS Drum Co. is known for creating ingenious, yet functional, products for drummers. Knowing many drummers prefer the split lug look and to see more of the shell's finish, they developed the "SE" (Special Edition) lug. Despite its very small footprint, it provides the same musical quality and resonance of its larger predecessor, the "Grand Master lug." It also has the same swivel nut as the "GM" lug, but diverts shell stress, by tensioning from the bottom of the lug casing, as opposed to the top. This makes it visually appealing while also contributing to the quality of these Special Edition Rack Toms sound.GMS bearing edges utilize a 45 degree cut on the inside of the shell and a shallow 45 degree counter cut on the outside, a graduated bearing edge around the set. In essence, the edges are sharper on smaller diameter toms and get rounder as the diameter gets larger. This exclusive process enhances the drums attack and sustain, while offering larger drums more low end and punch. All toms feature Evans coated G1 top, and G1 clear bottoms with hoops that are 2.3mm steel triple flanged.The GMS Suspension System is designed to securely mount your t
