All things being equal. The more plies the higher the pitch. I'm no expert, but I think that's how it goes. That's basically it. This can be offset by the type of wood you use. Maple is a lower toned wood so you will have a lower tone than say a birch shell at the same amount of plies. Your biggest sound difference is going to come from type of wood, bearing edges, and shell depth. I'll add on to that. So if you have a six ply shell that's 8mm, it's going to be lower pitched and have a lot more low end in the sound than a shell that's ply and 6mm thick.
Most of your modern shells in the 6 to 8 plies without reinforcements offer more of an open sound and when you get into the 8 plies depending on bearing edges and counter hoop thickness tend to be higher in pitch along with enhanced projection,volume but like heads you can tune the tone and resonance just by swapping out the counter hoops of various thickness and materials.
For a warm, more focused and articulate sound you'd be looking at the 3, 5 and 6 plies with reinforcement rings,again bearing edges,counter hoops,etc come into play here,I'm more into the vintage sound,so I'm right at home here:thu:.
If you really want to expand your knowledge about drums go to drumshed or ghostnote,these are the two premier drum building sites. Very loud,cracky,loud rim shots. Ringy depends on how you tune it,head selection,hoops and type of BE.
Ultimately however, it comes down to which drum you think sounds the best to you. Far and away the most played and recorded type of shell in music history. Ability to stagger the number of plies to create a uniformly optimal tone across all the shell sizes. Ability to create hybrid shells of different types of woods to maximize certain tonal qualities.
Easier to manufacture and thus relatively less expensive to produce and cheaper to buy. Plies necessitate the use of glues which interfere with drum tone. No one makes a drum out of glue. Ubiquitous presence of ply kits makes it difficult to have a truly different sound. Posts 2, Join Date Dec Location kansas Posts 2, Originally Posted by ThePloughman.

If I was inclined to pump that kind of cash into a snare I would probably go for a 6. If the right vintage Rogers came along, would be cheap. For practical playing purposes, theres really no reason to spend more than to , and you can get a really nice drum for that kind of change.
