Yeah the reference series uses varying plies of Maple, Birch and African Mahogany in order to get better sounds for the toms. The smaller toms have more Maple with a little Birch, the larger toms have a more even mix of the 2. The floor toms mix African Mahogany with Maple, as does the Bass Drum.
I think with some of the Top line Drum Manufacturers you can get custom plies of wood put in, Pearl Masterworks and DW do it anyway i am nearly sure...
