I hear of lots of talk on different wood types, but I don't hear (too) much about ash. I know Gretsch has the Catalina Ash, and a few high end snares use steambent ash.
What are its acoustic properties for drums - say on the spectrum from birch to maple to mahogany to bubinga to purpleheart...etc.
Warm? bright? Deep?
I gather ash has a strong grain and/or properties that make it less desirable.
