What is the difference between the several types of wood used for SONOR drums?
Maple, birch and basswood are the most commonly used types of wood for the manufacturing of SONOR drums series. Each wood has its own, distinct tonal quality due to its material structure and density. In addition the thickness, diameter and depth of the drum shell plus the selection of drum heads play an important role in determining the sound character. Combining all these factors gives you an incredible amount of sound choices. For specific descriptions of different SONOR shell types please refer to the detailed description of each drum series on its website.
