At Ebenor, I work only with North American wood, mainly from Lac-Mégantic, for simple reasons. My wood suppliers are 5 minutes from the workshop and it allows me to have a direct economic impact in my community. In addition, wood is accustomed to extreme temperature changes and large variations in humidity.
It is important to know that several variables influence the sound of a battery. When I develop a new project with a client, I begin by identifying what he wants to create as music. Is he looking for a more rock, jazz, pop? Is he looking to have a precise sound with his battery or more versatility? What configuration does it have in mind?
After having this discussion, I dig a little further to determine the first fundamental variable that will influence the sound of the battery: THE WOOD
Over the next few weeks, I will expose all my knowledge about battery production. This will allow you to better understand your instrument and to refine your sound identity as a drummer.

Music style : Ideal for metal, rock and hardcore.
Sound type: Birch is the best wood to get a lot of attack, a drier sound with a lot of volume. It is the wood that I recommend for metal so that each shot of the snare is well defined and cut out.
