Premium Signature Shells Made in the USA
Designed exclusively for WTS in collaboration with Nordic shells, WTS signature Artistry shells are carefully crafted utilizing our True Fortified Tone ply configuration. This features a structural maple core at the center of two inner and outer plies of the chosen species to provide both tonal and aesthetic distinction. The innermost ply is a vertical grain orientation, transmitting vibrations through the shell with less resistance resulting in a lower fundamental note.
Choose from three distinct wood options:
-
Ribbon Mahogany
-
Cherry
-
Walnut
All shells are finished with a matte lacquer, accentuating the stunning grain patterns of the wood while allowing the drums to resonate freely.
Ribbon Mahogany
Produces a warm, mellow tone with a controlled attack. The highs are naturally attenuated while the lows are open and full, providing a deep, thunderous quality of sound within a focused range.
Cherry
Offers balance, with equal representation of highs and lows punctuated by a definitive yet not overstated attack. Cherry provides the widest tuning range while maintaining its signature characteristics, delivering a degree of versatility that most closely aligns with the tuning functionality of WTS hardware.
Walnut
Cuts through with a pronounced attack while the overall tone leans towards low and punchy. Clarity in the bass frequencies prevents the natural sound from becoming muddy and convoluted within lower tunings. Shelved high frequency response contributes to an articulate and impactful quality of sound.
