A North American hardwood weighing slightly
more than maple. Hickory is slightly higher in pitch, and the note
is a tiny bit longer than the maple, although the maple overring
lingers longer. The Hickory has a fuller, richer sound than maple.
It seems to have more of the lows and mids that maple has, but also
has high frequencies. The volume and tuning range are very similar
to maple. Bottom line for me, its a fuller sounding drum than the
maple. Maple sounds "flat" in comparison to the hickory.
