I just sold a set of 9/72's to Larry (Ircollura) for his son and I mistakenly told him that the lay-up was 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple. I think the Maple/Birch/Maple lay-up is a much better one IMHO.

Too many great drums to list here!

Looks like a 5-ply with a 5-ply ring, totally normal...

If somebody has a donor sample, the USDA provides a free wood identifying service for up to 5 samples.

Poplar runs from a grayish white to green, even as a ply. They aint none of that in the pic.
