{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-bouleau-5-4mm-14-x7-256465","title":"BIRCH SHELL 5.4MM 14\"X7\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirch is a classic choice in drum craftsmanship when the goal is to achieve a \u003cstrong\u003eclean, clear, and easily controlled sound\u003c\/strong\u003e. Historically favored in recording, it remains a reliable option whenever sustain needs to be limited and a crisp attack maintained. In this spirit, CVL offers a shell designed for \u003cstrong\u003ecustom construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: a high-end base, made in Italy, intended for those who want to select their hardware and configuration without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is primarily aimed at demanding drummers, technicians, as well as manufacturers and enthusiasts who want to build a personalized snare drum. Being \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced\u003c\/strong\u003e means a true \"custom\" approach: taking measurements, drilling plans, and precise hardware choices. Style-wise, birch excels when definition and a clear place in the mix are sought: pop, modern rock, funk, fusion, gospel, contemporary music, and any situation where the snare must remain \u003cstrong\u003epresent without overpowering\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main strength of this shell lies in its custom-oriented design. Delivered \u003cstrong\u003ewithout drilling\u003c\/strong\u003e, it allows you to install your lugs, trigger, butt plate, and vent exactly where you want, depending on the hardware chosen and ergonomic preferences. To facilitate future drilling placement, you can use the \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO26\u003c\/strong\u003e templates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCVL also highlights an exclusive manufacturing process that uses \u003cstrong\u003eless glue\u003c\/strong\u003e than so-called \"traditional\" methods. This has a dual benefit: better preserving the natural behavior of the wood and promoting freer shell vibration, often resulting in a more \"alive\" feel and a more organic response. The entire process and shells are \u003cstrong\u003eISO 9001 certified\u003c\/strong\u003e, with particular attention to sustainable development and traceability of wood sourcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirch is a medium-density wood known for its excellent balance between \u003cstrong\u003eattack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003econtrol\u003c\/strong\u003e. Practically, it delivers \u003cstrong\u003eaccentuated high frequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e that add clarity to rimshots, precision to stick articulation, and very clear ghost notes. The midrange is slightly recessed, helping the snare remain clear without sounding \"nasal,\" while the low end maintains a \u003cstrong\u003estrong attack\u003c\/strong\u003e for a solid and defined stick response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003e6-ply\u003c\/strong\u003e construction at \u003cstrong\u003e5.4mm\u003c\/strong\u003e thickness, this shell offers versatile performance: enough body to cut through the mix while retaining a quick and controlled response. The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree interior bearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance the precision of the head-to-shell contact, promoting stable tuning, a more direct feel under the stick, and clearer projection. The result: an ideal foundation for a modern snare drum, equally comfortable with tight, cracking tuning or lower settings with punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood Species\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBirch\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e14\u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6x Birch\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e45-degree Interior\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357485682963,"sku":"256465","price":97.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/25ba718017fc9951c8527bead047f9e9daefd6d8_CVL_BIR_54_14.jpg?v=1789171919","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-birch-shell-5-4mm-14-x7-256465","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
