From the Dixon website:
"Demon drums features 7-ply Birch/Mahogany shells (7.2 mm shells) with 45-degree bearing edges, 1.6 mm power hoops and Evans G1 coated batters with a single-ply clear resonant heads."
I didn't play the Demon, so I really can't add anything more.
the mahogany is really the just a filler wood the shells are birch/mahogany...some speculate that the shells take on the overall sound of the inner shell...imo cheap mahogany still sounds better than basswood and poplar!!! for the price on the dixon demon set i think that it would really be a good buy!!!
I was told that Dixon uses cheap Mahogany from Philippines for the Demon kit, is this true or false?
False,
The Demon series uses a mid-grade Mahogany between the Birch plies. This is the same type you find in other mid-level kits that use Mahogany. The wood isn't Luan or "Asian Firewood", as some people say, but it is not African or Honduras Mahogany. If we were to use High-end Mahogany like African, then this series would be in a much higher price point.
