You lack the tuning and playing skills to both recognize and capitalize upon the very subtle difference between maple and birch. The idiot who suggested comparing Starclassics to Masters in order to "hear the difference" is well...an idiot. You will not hear the differnce between maple and birch, rather...Tama Starclassics and Pearl Masters. The only way to objectively compare the two woods, it to have two otherwise identically crafted shells filled with identical hardware and heads, tensioned both as closely as possible to the same pitch, and then again with each shell tensioned to it's 'optimum' pitch.
You want to know the difference? Fine.

Your money will be better spent if you compare other factors like hardware design, functionality, and asthetics...bearing edges...finish...customer-service...politics.
