Description

Can you hear the difference between a maple drum and a birch drum? Today we demonstrate the difference between birch, maple, mahogany, poplar, and walnut woods on the same-sized toms. The size, drumheads, and tuning are the same on each drum. I recommend you use headphones to hear the subtle differences of each shell type. 

Here is a link to a video of the demonstration, so you can see the drums being used.
