Yo! The main difference I see is in brightness, where the unwrapped drum has more of its frequencies boosted. The wrap may dull these frequencies a bit due to the shell resonance being inhibited by the wrap. The thing is, what I hear is FAR more negligible. You really have to hone in on the EQ to hear the difference. I believe that, to the naked ear, that difference won’t matter anywhere near as much. 👌
@@mikeevans1952 respectfully gonna disagree here. Material (wood/metal/acrylic/etc), dimensions, bearing edges, re-rings, etc as well as head choice and tuning are all going to impact the sound. All drums are absolutely not created equal.
Great experiment! Seemed like the unwrapped rang out a little longer. That was the main difference I heard.
@@robotron17 experiencing it firsthand, the sustain and resonance was barely noticeable
Hardly noticeable to my ear. Fun experiment!
@@HTphyzycs thanks homie!
i am surprised that the birch bubinga kit is covered and not varnished!
@@jcdrums2798 I would love to take the existing wrap off somehow and stain! There isn't even a seam I can find though 😕

@@SmangItDrums thank you for you insights man, greatly appreciated!
It's the heads and how they are tuned that mainly create the sound. The type of wood and finish or brand name and price are minor elements.
