One thing i need to know is that on my 12x8 tom the interior is lighter than the other drums. The other drums are dark brown. The 12 inch is more of a lighter colour. I know it isnt birch. It is grainy like mahogany. Can someone put me in the right direction.....sean

My Tom is 12inch international size. So you reckon Scand beech. Would that be scandinavian beech. Must admit the sound of the 12 inch is awesome its got some projection and depth to it......Thanks for your time .....sean

Other than the old 60's and earlier Premier kit's that had mahogany involved in the ply's, Birch I would of thought. That's the wood I believe Premier always used until releasing the Signia series in Maple in the early 90's.

I understand that the re-rings were beech, and that shells were either Birch or Mahogany, dependent on the period. Sometimes mahogany appears as a filler between plys of birch. If you are talking about the early seventies chances are as above. Later 70's things got a little more variable.
