Re: GMS Drums - What's the Word?


I've been working with Tim at Troy's Drum Shop in Dallas, TX and he gave the following insights: Yes, GMS uses Keller shells (as DW did when they started), that are made from North American grown hardwoods in New Hampshire.

GMS and DW are really tough to compare. DW drums tend to have a very specific sound, which is the exact reason that some people love them and some people hate them. For me personally, I much prefer GMS and find them more versatile sonically, but it all comes down to personal preference as usual. Both companies make top level drums, and you can't go wrong with either!
