Good comment. I figured the various hard woods tonal differences would be splitting hairs. As soon as there are choices thrown into the situation, it tends to compliment things. That all said, I think I am going with Ego tube lugs and the shell will have a 45 deg. bearing edge and there will be a vent hole. Don't know much about snare bed options offerd. I still want a 14" x 8" so thickness might come into play. 1/4" thick with reinforcement hoops. Do cast hoops tend to dry out the tone?
