∙ 9y agomost drums are made of wood, aluminium, steel, or some tough plastic/acrylic
different drums are mad of different things. For a drumset, most of the drums are made out of various woods (birch, maple) depending on the sound you want but sometimes they are made out of acrylic or steel/aluminum (mostly for the snare drum). For a concert snare, they are made out of either wood or metal. The extremely high-end ones are made out of rosewood because of the tone that it gives but they can be made out of lots of other woods that make it sound different or make it less expensive less expensive. Once you pick the wood, you also pick the number of plies. Less expensive drums are made out of many plies (or layers) of wood all wrapped around while the top-of-the-line drums are made of a single piece of wood shaped into the shell. Concert drums can also be made out of aluminum or steel. Pearl just released a new drum to its Philharmonic series made of steel and it has a much "poppier" sound to it.
World drums are generally made of wood just because this is the material that is easily accessed in the parts of the world where these drums originated.
