MAPLE/POPLAR - 7 ply // 5.2mm
Paying homage to the older styles of shells, the Heritage Series is a modern ply shell that transcends the most commonly requested classic vintage formulas. This Heritage Series is a modern 7-ply shell that transcends the classic 3-ply shell played throughout the late 40s, 50s and 60s.
Maple/Poplar is desirable for a drum shell because it offers a good balance between a bright, articulate attack with a warm low-end tone, making it versatile for a variety of playing styles, while also being relatively affordable and easy to work with due to its softer wood properties compared to pure maple.
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.
