hey guys
hope you can help me, also this is my first post so i hope to be a good addition to the board.
anyway can someone help me out there i have a 2001 pearl ELX in amber mist,in maghony but i'm not sure, anyway i'm gonna be ordering some extra toms soon a 8x8, 8x10 and a 14x14 or 12x14 but i heard the new exports are made or poplar i was just wondering if there will be much difference in the sound/tone of the woods?

also what tom would you go for out of the 12x14 and 14x14 i play in a heavy metal band,doing slipknot kinda stuff i really like the sound of smaller toms as opposed to deeper toms, my set up will be 8x8,8x10,10x12,? and 16x16 once i order these toms,i just wanna know what u guys think?

thanx in advance

As for different materials.....that shouldn't matter, because you are tuning the drums to different pitches anyway, you may have to tweak it either tighter or lower than the other drums to get the same amount of resonance.

As for size......I would go with the smaller one since you like the smaller drums (kinda obvious)
