What's your wood?

[fretai03]

...lmbo@Freddy and E-R.  I guess one man's junk is another one's treasure. lol

....by the way, if you find an older Export made from Mahagony, buy it and keep it.  I've heard many stories on how those are way better than the Poplar ones.   There were even a few pro's that have used them on Live gigs.

...I think Sticksinmypocket has one of those.

Hmmm... Yo! sticksinmypocket you still need yours?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna check out ebay etc. What range of years (ie the 80s, 90s, earlier?) am I after that will guarantee Mahogany Exports?

ER put me onto the Tamburo ASH kit & it seems interesting...

[fretai03]

Why not invest in something nice?  Aren't you worth it?   

Massive.

Tamburo is easy for you to come by...However, JFunk and I feel the same way, I'd rather have a GMS or a Ddrum Ash. Being that you live on another planet  , I mean live in a remote location, you gotta work with what you got.

Well, the kit that I bought from a guy told me that he played it in a live gig a few times and he loved it!! Now If I wasnt just a church drummer I would invest in a nice high-end kit but why would I need one if Im not doing anything out of the ordinary?  Is poplar the same thing a Mahogany? ....

Dont bash me guys...

...dude, you're not reading the posts are you?  E-R just stated the difference between the woods. lol

...Pay Attention.

I know what ER said but I was also refering to a post that I didnt reply to earlier...Someone said to get rid of the  Phil.Mahogany kit .. I was just saying that I didnt think that I should invest into a highend kit when I dont need to... also I was responding to what you Said about how guys have played Exports..ect. in live gigs... I do read the post...

Is poplar the same thing a Mahogany? ....

Poplar:

Poplar is derived from fast growing straight medium hardwood trees and is a less expensive alternative to Birch and Maple. Its finish can be somewhat green in color and is therefore used in the inner ply layers as substitute for more expensive and less plentiful woods. It takes on more of the tone of birch or mahogany than maple.

 

Basswood:

Basswood is a great less expensive hardwood that mimics the sound of Maple to some, mahogany to others. Yet it is more plentiful and gives the manufacturer a price advantage.  It in many ways is an upgrade to luaan, or ramin and is often used as a core wood with a bit more of the lower register tone to it than realized out of maple. Its more like mahogany than maple.

I do read the post...

[soul_drummer]

Hey guys I'm about to buy a Ddrum kit. I got the money but the only thing is that I can't make up my mind on which one to get. Maple or Ash. I know how maple sounds and I love it but I haven't played on a Ddrum Ash kit before. I hear a lot of good things about the Ash kit but I'm not going to buy it based on what I hear from people. I want to try it for myself. or at least hear it. Anybody got any video or audio of a Ash kit??? Thanks...God Bless
