Percussionists can hear it. They can feel it. And so can audiences.

Wood Selection – Many factors affect the quality and character of a drum’s sound. One of the most basic is the type of wood the drum is made from. Here’s a rundown of the choices available to you in an RBH drum:

  • Maple. A solid, all-around snare sound. Excellent projection, good high-end crack with moderate overtones. Very nice choice for a drum of multiple applications.
  • Cherry. Best described as “sweet.” A beautiful sounding drum, somewhat dryer than maple but with a richness maple doesn’t possess. Minimal overtones, good high-end crack. Can be tuned for deeper tones as well.
  • Walnut. Deep, dry and beautiful. Fat backbeat drum, beautiful visual presentation. Not much high-end crack, but very versatile.
