Please examine the inside of your shell very closely. Remove the batter head and use a flashlight. Gretsch never described this shell as "seamless". The drum I have (same model but with chrome hardware), is NOT seamless. Most people cannot hear the difference, but it IS an important construction feature, and always adds value, due to the method of contruction. I did see another seller listing for this model and had the same error in the description. I found the 2016 Gretsch Price List with these snares (as well as the New Classic Ltd Ed Chrome Over Brass version) - and the description is absent of the term "seamless" as well. Thank you for your time - Cheers!

Hi Leonardo, and thanks. I'll have the owner inspect it and amend the listing. George
