Heritage Series
The Heritage Series is a modern shell that transcends the classic shells 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 modern shell, which allows you to recreate your favorite vintage kits in a high-grade, premium construction wood combination.
MAPLE/GUM - 6 ply // 6mm
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 6-ply shell is our modern interpretation of the highly desired Jasper style shell.
Maple and Gumwood have been a perennial favorite in the drum industry for decades. Our Maple is sourced from Michigan and the Gumwood near Jasper, Indiana. Each ply is 1mm thick laid out in a classic formula of (Long Grain-Short Grain) Ls/Ls/sL, and expertly executed by the Nordic craftsmen.
Pair this shell with the Round Over 30º bearing edge for a truly classic sound.

Products are cut according to the size indicated above, but are shipped raw to maintain affordable pricing for our customers. This also allows our customers to finish the product exactly as desired. Products may contain markings from the mill or slight amounts of glue from the manufacturing process, but can be easily removed prior to finishing.
We try very hard to eliminate any glue remnants. However, should you find any glue remnants on your Nordic product, it can be easily addressed during preparation, prior to finishing the product. To easily peel off the glue remnants, simply soak a small rag in acetone and place over the glue for about 10 mins.
It is important to always sand the product before finishing with paint, stain or clear coating. Start with 150 grit and gently sand the product a couple times. A final sanding can be done using 220 grit, but it is not recommended to go beyond 220 (the wood pores will close making it harder for stain to permeate). And finally, keep in mind that this is a natural product and will not always be perfectly uniform.
