Maderas


En esta pagina encotraran las maderas mas utilizadas para hacer baterias y tambores en Artisian Drumworks.
Sinembargo, no representan el total disponible. Hay mas de 100 especies para elegir a la hora de hacer una bateria, o un tambor.
En funcion de describir la tonalidad cada especie de madera, se uso el Maple como referencia, ya que es probablemente la madera mas popular usada hoy en dia en la construccion de baterias.
Hay que entender que lo que esuchamos de nuestro instrumento esta basado en nuestra experiencia y la experienca de todo aquel que toca la bateria.
El sonido obtenivo puede ser muy subjetivo. Entonces las siguientes descirpciones en termino de "calidad tonal" estan basadas segun el sentido general.

Diccionario:

Specific Gravity: this refers to the ratio of the wood’s density to the density of water as a standard when both densities are obtained by weighing in air.
Gravedad especifica: Se refriere alaproporcion de la densidad de la madera con la densidad del agua, como un estandard, cuando ambas densidades se obtienen pesandolas en el aire o al vacio( ya se q no es lo mismo pero no recuerdo la traduccion)

Pero q buen post che!

che muy buen informe.....felicitaciones

buenisimo, esto sirve para que la gente mas joven conozca algo mas que no sea el maple... en los 60 premier fabricaba unas baterias de beech increibles... yamaha intento re introducirlo hace unos años con poco exito con la beech custom, tuve la oportunidad de ver una en vivo y en directo en una clinica de akira jimbo, dios! como sonaba eso.... sonor solia fabricar baterias en zebrawood si no me equivoco, hoy solo lo usan como acabado...., en Ash se consiguen batas todavia como la catalina Ash como para tener una idea de a que suena... la ultima edicion limitada de tama es de koa..., si bien birch y maple son los sonidos ya clasicos por ser la materia prima mas usada, no esta de mas investigar otros materiales....

Lo que daría por probar baterías con todas esa maderas

si estaria buenisimo probar tambores en todas esas maderas, encima las miles de posibilidades q tedrias para jugar con las medidas...
