So how do these look IRL in your opinion? The way these drums are photographed really varies from what I've seeen online...

That's an interesting point - has anyone actually carried out testing on this?
I would have thought the effect of wraps on the overall sound of the drum would be negligible...
Jammin Sam says it has no impact. But he's in business of selling wrap.
If a stained shell gets wrapped, it's adding mass, which should raise the pitch, and maybe shorten the note, but aid in unmiced projection. On paper.
How much you can hear that stuff....the world may never know lol.

Ahh the Capri Pearl, was just looking at the Slingy finishes from early on. The 3 sparkled diamonds were a nice option or touch to have as well, and the abalone pearl is a beautiful finish, would be a sight to behold.
For me it’s either Mardi Gras, or Ludwigs black galaxy, champagne, red, blue or green sparkle finishes.

Canopus claims to change their edge and shell construction according to their finish. This is getting into really small fine details, but drums are a simple instrument so several small details (if accounted) can contribute and only of course if a nuanced player can actually take advantage.
Conceptually it makes sense but really need a proper experiment to listen to. Shell resonance is a topic within itself, and it’s actual contribution to entire scope is relative and likely very small factor. Just for finishes, a wrap and non-wrap do not resonate a shell the same way, there is no way. Whether it’s audible depends but probably only noticeable in low or low-mid dynamic, not if slamin’ (speculating, seems to be the case on a multitude of different drum factors, a reason why can’t stand reviews that just bash). As for the lacquer vs non-lacquer, this really hasn’t evaluated properly either IMO but it essentially turns a drum into an M&M. If at the very least, wraps and lacquers change mass, not as drastic as other components of course.
Cool. Burl ash. Really gorgeous. Very different from regular ash

I know I already posted a pic of some of these earlier in the thread, but when everyone’s together for a family portrait, it sure does make for a striking pic. I find myself staring at these a bit too much. Am I a creeper if they’re inanimate objects? Lower lighting deepens the hue of the Real Wood finish. Yummy...

It's a hell of a veneer, eh?
