Masonite!
As far as the sound, with the original bottom calf head and snare wires, the sound was pretty dry and the drum probably doesnt project much.
Masonite is heavy so I doubt they used it to produce a light weight drum. More than likely it was a money savings thing, at least thats how I see it from a building material perspective.
Thank you!

Yes, I realized that after I picked up the shell. Not any lighter than a maple shell. Guess it was just cost cutting.
WFL did the same thing. I have an eight lug 5x14.
Here's mine.
I thought I had photos of the inside of the shell, I don't know where they are.
I'll flip it over & take some photos later, though you can kind of see through the vent hole in one picture.

Wow. Now that's a new one to me. I had no idea WFL did that, as well. Interesting.

Cool. A deep shell drum, too. Thanks for posting this.
Sure thing!
After reading this:
I really want to race home and check it.
I didn't drench it or anything, but when I had it apart for cleaning a few months ago, the rings and shell got wiped down with lemon oil....as I do with all my wooden drums.
Uh oh... ToiletToiletToilet
Thanks for the link! I didn't know that there was no glue on Masonite...By the way: Lovely drum! I have a plastic Mastro but Masonite has got to be my next weird one!
