Hi guys, I have been having some thoughts recently due to my intention to buy a new mid-range kit for touring with my band. One of the kits that I have been thinking about is the Gretsch Catalina Club. The wood is Philippine mahogany, but I have not been able to find out how the wood is sourced, and what the environmental impact is of using such woods for drums. There is a huge problem with deforestation in the Philippines. I am wondering if anybody else takes these things into consideration when choosing a new drumkit? I have not been able to find anything on this topic.
