I'm now completely clear on how poplar sounds
Yes, that's the issue - context is everything. Everyone wants answers, but only ones that are easy to digest, & often just to confirm their brand / finish decision anyhow.Lol.. Truth be told, I prefer their answer over an honest answer, because honest answers are so incredibly complicated
You might be onto something with the parody, but as to why I wouldn't bother developing a serious chart, refer to my answer aboveAndy, You totally need to make a drum wood chart, even if it's just a parody.
Poplar must be the bestest wood of 'em all, don't ya think?I'm now completely clear on how poplar sounds
Birch is very dense and tough, with a harder and brighter sound than maple or mahogany. Its loud, bright tone makes birch excellent for recording, as it easily cuts through the mix with its clarity. Birch features enhanced highs and lows with a reduced midrange.
Mahogany has an enhanced low end and midrange with reduced highs. The sound is slightly warmer than maple and is said to have a "vintage" character.
Poplar is a low-cost alternative to maple or birch. The sound is similar to birch or mahogany.
Lol.. Truth be told, I prefer their answer over an honest answer, because honest answers are so incredibly complicated and have to account for the entire construction. In the guitar world you end up with something like this...
If the construction is somewhere in the middle, it almost doesn't matter what wood you use. To a $500 guitar buyer, that graph is as inconsequential as the wood used in their guitar.

Just gotta say I think the DW drum round lugs are ugly . Not only that but the distance apart that they are supported is kinda close. I just ordered a classic maple set from Ludwig and ordered them with large classic lugs, not the cheap mini's. Large classic lugs will structurally place more secure tension on the drum head .
Just an observation point. The "DW" round ones look like a cartoon drawing. Just look cheap and ugly.
Love Ludwig
