Acoustic barrier Protective shield, Gibraltar GDS-5

Gibraltar GDS-5 Acoustic Barrier Protective Shield

The GDS-5 drum shield puts you in control of your drum sound — ideal for studio recording or live gigs. Its five-panel acrylic design helps contain the drums and deliver a cleaner, balanced drum presence without overwhelming the mix.

Perfect for acoustic kits

A drum shield is a valuable tool when you want your acoustic drums to sound clear and controlled, without bleeding into other microphones or overpowering the mix. The GDS-5 collects and contains the drum sound, giving the engineer a cleaner canvas for the rest of the band.

Practical, user-friendly design

The shield comprises five transparent panels — each approximately 167 cm high and 60 cm wide — connected by hinges so the shield can be folded up for easy storage or transport. No assembly is needed: simply unfold and position around your kit.

When to use it

– Studio recording: Reduces bleed from acoustic drums into other mics, resulting in tighter separation and cleaner drum tracks.
– Live / rehearsal: Helps manage stage volume, keeping drums in balance with other instruments and vocals.
– Small venues & compact spaces: Lets you control loudness without sacrificing the dynamic feel of your playing.
