Whether you're an experienced percussionist seeking a custom sound or a DIY enthusiast eager to build something special, this snare kit has everything required to assemble a professional-grade snare drum from the ground up.

MAHOGANY/POPLAR - 7 ply // 5.2mm
This Heritage Series is a modern 7-ply shell that transcends the classic 3-ply shell played throughout the late 40s, 50s and 60s. Our Heritage line is crafted with precision, our unique adhesives and advanced technology and utilizes the same iconic woods from the golden age of music. The result is a similar sound in a thinner shell, which allows you to recreate your favorite vintage kits in a high-grade, premium construction wood combination.
Mahogany and Poplar are desirable for drum shells because they produce a warm, rich, and full tone with a good low-end punch, thanks to the combination of mahogany's resonant qualities and poplar's ability to add warmth and depth, making it a good choice for drummers seeking a balanced, versatile sound across different frequencies.
Create your own custom snare drum with Nordic's top-quality snare shells. With a variety of stunning options to match your preferences, expert craftsmanship, and fast turnaround, you can build your perfect snare!
Snare kits are available for $299 (8-lug) and $325 (10-lug), with an included Services Bundle valued at $180, plus the cost of your chosen shell.
