I could tell you which drumset tunes higher or lower though. |
it would only be relevant if they:
a) are the same dimensions
b) have the same snare
c) have the same number of plies
d) have the same ratio of wood to filler
e) are all tuned to exactly the same pitch, not tension, because the argument is that the wood somehow adds sonics to the drum.
and even then, lugs and bearing edges might make a difference. i'd love to hear it, tho! i'd rather hear toms than snares, personally.
