It is created by the most talented craftsmen. They use a combination of Mahogany, birch and Maple wood to form the shell.
Usually there are 4 Maple wood plies and two birch plies in each tom. The user gets to choose the inner and outer woods to be used if they wish.
Their toms are created with special rounded 45° bearing edge to produce high frequency sound.
