Birch ply drums

One of most used methods of building drumshells are plyshells. MMC Drums also offers these ply drums, but with a little twist. Most shells are build with the grain running horizontal, but we like to run the grain vertical. This results in a faster resonance. Combine this with Birch wood and you get big sounding toms and a very responsive snare all with a very bright tone.

Our ply drums are standard build using Birch, but of course other woods are possible too. Another option is using a different wood for inner and/or outer facing. This is mostly done for aesthetic reasons as the overall sound won’t change much.

The prices printed are for our standard Birch drums. Please contact us for other woods and/or wood combinations.

All drums available in the following thickness: 4.5mm (with re-rings), 6mm, 7.5mm, 9mm or 10.5mm. Depth in every size up to diameter.
