I've been often asked to speak about the effect of wood selection on drum shell construction. Since I don't generally do things halfway this is another long one, one I hope will be worth it for those with a desire to truly unpack the subject.

What else can I say? It's the most fun you'll have all week!!! ;). Come join me!
