Ganaan adds drum pads series to growing line of products

Ganaan Highland Manufacturing of British Columbia has added the 20 Series Drum of Pads to its growing line of piping and drumming products, which range from pipe chanters to various smaller accessories for pipers and drummers.

According to the company, the three new pads for snare drummers are manufactured using “a premium platinum cure silicone” and come in three sizes (4.5″ / 114mm; 6″ / 152mm; and 8″ / 203mm), starting at CAD$21.95.

Ganaan says they developed the silicone rubber material to provide “exceptional tear resistance, long-term elasticity, and a natural rebound that’s easy on the wrists and responsive under the stick,” and resists slipping or “creep” over prolonged practice sessions.

The company offers custom colours by special order and “bold branding, matching section gear, or just something personal.”

Ganaan Manufacturing was started in 2017 by Garth Newlands and his son, Austin. Garth Newlands is a piper and drummer, a mechanical engineering technologist by trade. Austin Newlands was a member of the Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band organization in the 2010s.
