Absolute Hybrid Maple shells use an interior layer of wenge, a hard and heavy type of wood that combines with maple to produce a rich, clear tone at all dynamic levels.
It yields a warm low end, balanced low and high frequencies, and slightly boosted mid frequencies. Maple is a very popular wood for making drum shells and is used in Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple and Tour Custom drums. Birch projects very well and can easily cut through a mix. It emphasizes the low and high frequencies, providing a bright, lively sound with slightly reduced mid frequencies.

The idea of having a single drummer in a band spread from the Big Band era and continues today - though there have been popular bands with two drummers simultaneously playing separate kits. Eventually, composers such as Berlioz and Verdi used the bass drum in their works, and it became an important part of the orchestral percussion section.Īt the beginning of the 20 th century, the invention of the foot pedal revolutionized drumming by making it possible for one drummer to simultaneously play a bass drum, a snare drum and a cymbal. In the 18 th century, Turkish troops and military bands made their way into Europe, where the davul was incorporated into music written by Gluck, Mozart and Haydn. It was used by Ottoman military bands, but was also an important part of non-military music in that part of the world. The davul was a double-headed, rope-tensioned drum with a diameter of 26 to 28 inches and was played with a wood stick or by hand. The bass drum is a descendant of the davul or tabl turki (Turkish drum) dating back to the 1300s, making it one of the oldest percussion instruments. In classical music, the bass drum provides dramatic thunder, and marching bands use it as a means of setting the tempo of the march. In jazz, the bass drum is often played very lightly to provide a pulse that is more felt than heard, but is also used to drop “bombs” (strong accents). In contemporary music, the bass and snare drums are the most important components of the drum set, with the bass drum providing the “downbeat” on the one and three while the snare drum counters on the two and four.
