So I've been looking at getting another kit already made. Looked at the ddrum dominator series since the sizes are exactly what I have now. But once I thought about it I realized I could build another keller shell kit like my current one for alot cheaper. Looking into the same set up (1 rack tom, 2 floors and kick) but got questions on sizes and plys.
My current set up is:
26x16 8 ply kick maple
14x14 6ply rack tom maple
16x16 6 ply FT maple
18x18 6 ply FT maple
Music is mostly rock/hard rock/metal
So my questions are:
Ply's:
If I were to go 8 ply on all the drums what exactly would that do?
Size's:
If I were to change it up a bit and go 14x12, 16x14, 18x16 what kinda of sound would that give me?
Wood:
With sizes this big would it be a wise idea to go with Birch instead of Maple this time around?
thanks in advance!
