I think the loudest drums are chrome over vistalite shells. You need earplugs to sit behind those things. Heavy too.

Too many great drums to list here!

Anything synthetic, including Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass, or Acrylic. Steel is also plenty loud.

Vistalites have got to be up there in the loudest, plus they are probably some of the coolest. ;)
