"People rarely consider drum construction and materials and the affect it has on the overall tone"

By "people", you presumably mean "non-drummers". If so, you are absolutely correct.

Drummers, on the other hand, are obsessed with the species, thickness and number of plys of the wood in a drum's shells, the construction technique used in making the hoops, the configuration of the lugs, the number of wires on the snares and what they're made of, and what hardware configuration is used to hold the drum up. To say nothing of the type of heads, or the type of sticks. And let's not even talk about cymbals.

Happy listening,

Jim
