Drum Sound Shield Gibraltar Percussion
$629.99
The Gibraltar GDS-5 Drum Sound Shield is a professional-grade acoustic barrier engineered to give you absolute control over your stage and studio volume. Designed by Gibraltar Percussion, this premium 5-panel freestanding shield effectively isolates high-transient drum sounds, keeping aggressive cymbals and snare cracks from bleeding into adjacent vocal microphones. Built with rugged, transparent acrylic panels and a completely toolless, collapsible design, the GDS-5 is the ultimate acoustic solution for houses of worship, live music venues, recording tracking spaces, and rehearsal rooms.
Why choose the Gibraltar GDS-5 Sound Shield?
The GDS-5 eliminates the age-old battle between loud acoustic drums and a muddy front-of-house (FOH) mix. By placing this heavy-duty barrier in front of your drum set, sound technicians can significantly reduce overall ambient stage volume. This gives your audio team the headroom needed to build a clean, clear, and perfectly balanced sound system mix. Conversely, for outdoor amphitheaters and acoustic festival stages, the shield can be positioned behind the drummer to naturally reflect and project the kit’s acoustic punch forward toward the crowd.
Key Features & Design Layout
- Zero-Assembly Flex Hinges: The 5 panels arrive factory-connected with full-length flexible hinges. There are zero complex brackets to assemble—simply pull it out of the shipping container and unfold it into custom angles in seconds.
- High-Clarity 5mm Acrylic Panels: Constructed from heavy-duty, 5mm-thick transparent acrylic. It ensures structural stability while maintaining a crystal-clear, unobstructed line of sight between the drummer, the band, and the audience.
- Built-In Cable Management "Mouse Holes": The outer edge panels feature dedicated routing cutouts ("mouse holes") at the very base. Easily pass through multi-channel microphone snakes, XLR mic lines, or electronic drum monitoring cables without lifting or tilting the barrier.
- Full-Length Acoustic Sealing: Unlike cheap hardware dividers that rely on gap-prone plastic clips, Gibraltar's proprietary flexible hinges run the entire vertical height of each panel connection, maximizing sound dampening and preventing acoustic leaks.
- Effortless Transport Footprint: When the session concludes, the accordion-style design collapses flat onto itself, turning a massive 10-foot-wide shield into a tightly stacked profile that slides easily into a equipment vehicle or closet.
