Sound Pure's Take

Featuring the Bread & Butter bearing edge, its versatile tone works well for drummers playing anything from Jazz, Fusion, Rock, or Metal. The 7 ply Maple shell features a back cut on the outer two plies of the shell and an inside cut the lands on the 5th ply. This edge tunes up quickly and creates a wide tuning range. Complemented with the double-ended Deco lug, this drum performs well across multiple tuning ranges. Clear definition and sparkle throughout the ranges of tuning. Finished with a walnut satin finish and chrome hardware, this drum will be a comfortable fit for any live or studio situation.

From C&C Custom Drums

With thicker cuts than the industry standard, our Maple ply configuration is a refined version of the shell construction that put us on the map. The Gladstone series features 7 plies of North American Rock Maple, our double-ended Deco Lug and proprietary Bread and Butter bearing edge. This edge allows for a more open and resonant tone. It also promotes more body than what is typical of a modern maple shell, making for a very musical and versatile sound.

C&C Gladstone Snare Drum Features:

  • C&C single-ended Deco lug
  • 2.3mm Triple Flanged Hoops
  • Remo Heads
