And again i appreciate all your advice, but i also have a good deal of experiance with heads, and wanted to know if anyone knew what was good with bubinga drums specifically. And if you were un-aware, Bubinga is approximately 53% more dense than maple, so the same size drum in maple, same plys, same lugs, same heads, same tuning, would sound about 53% louder and about 2whole steps lower. the mid-low frequencys are much stronger with bubinga too.

Dude, no. Bubinga is not 53% louder. That is rubbish. The Bubinga kit also wouldn't sound 2 steps lower with the same tuning. Where are you getting this bogus misinformation from? Two drums with the same everything except shell type would have a very close pitch when tuned the same. The shell of the drum doesn't affect the head's tension, which is the main factor when determining pitch. It affects the resonance, sustain, and overtones.

I've owned an acrylic kit. 1/4" thick of hard plastic. It was not significantly louder than a maple kit but lacked the tone of one. It was too punchy.

Lets pretend acrylic is twice as dense as maple because I have no idea what the actual numbers are. It is NOT twice as loud.
