I play a 2015 Ludwig Classic Maple kit and every time I take the heads off I get a big whiff of what I can only assume is a mixture of maple and glue. If they made it into a candle, I'd buy it. (grin)
Do other brands have such a smell? And if so, does it vary from company to company? I've also heard that vintage drums have a more musty odor and not the fresh glue smell of the newer drums. I wonder if this aging of the glue changes the sound.
