Birch Drums
The Sound of Birch There is some disagreement among the pros in the sound difference between birch and maple shells. Birch is often referred to as a more focused and tight sound. It's much quieter than maple is with less overtones, which makes it great for recording and live performances using mics. Much like wine, drums tend to age over time and develop a much warmer tone. This tends to make birch shells eventually catch up to the warm sound of maple.  Although there are some differences between maple and birch drums, it is not as significant as the difference that other factors can cause.
