{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-bubinga-5-4mm-13x5-5-338919","title":"BUBINGA SHELL 5.4MM 13X5.5","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBubinga is a wood often chosen for high-end shell manufacturing due to its density and very consistent response. Within the CVL range philosophy, this shell is positioned as a premium base for drummers and makers who want a customizable instrument while maintaining a strong sonic identity: warmth, depth, and precision. The ISO 9001 certification and the manufacturer's commitment to sustainable development reinforce this quality- and consistency-oriented positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience for This Drum\/Shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e, workshops, luthiers, and \"drum building\" enthusiasts who wish to design a custom snare or tom by mastering hardware and ergonomics. Thanks to its generous low-end and well-defined attack, it is particularly suited to contexts where substance and presence are sought: rock, funk, fusion, gospel, pop, as well as studio settings where clarity and depth are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e6-ply\u003c\/strong\u003e construction and \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e thickness, this shell offers an interesting balance between resonance and control while maintaining good structural rigidity. The \u003cstrong\u003estandard 45-degree interior bearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e promote precise contact with the drumhead, helping to achieve a quick response, stable tuning, and a sharp attack. The shell is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced\u003c\/strong\u003e: holes for lugs, trigger, butt plate, and vent need to be made, allowing you to adapt the setup to your hardware and specifications. For clean drilling, it is recommended to use drill bits suitable for hardwoods and carefully measure the required diameters according to the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBubinga\u003c\/strong\u003e is a hard and dense wood known for its very \"full\" behavior: it emphasizes \u003cstrong\u003emore pronounced low frequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e and immediately adds \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e to the sound. This density also contributes to a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-defined attack\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a precise striking feel and clear articulation, even at high volume or in a busy mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a \u003cstrong\u003e13-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e diameter, bubinga can provide a true signature: surprisingly present low end for the size, great projection, and a response that remains controllable in tuning. Combined with the CVL manufacturing process aimed at using less glue, this results in a shell designed to preserve a more \u003cstrong\u003enatural\u003c\/strong\u003e and lively character, with balanced resonance and good dynamics.\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:6;--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)\"\u003eBubinga\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpierced shell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003edrilling required (lugs, trigger, butt plate, vent)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--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 Bubinga\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended templates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSparedrum LO16 or LO26 (to correctly position future holes)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--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)\"\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e13\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExclusive CVL manufacturing process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ereduced glue usage compared to traditional methods for a more natural sound\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eStandard 45-degree interior\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustainable development approach\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eemphasis on responsible wood sourcing and reducing environmental impact through continuous process improvement\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359847928083,"sku":"338919","price":97.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/01797db28d1ba3051a1cc3617600359feff888ae_CVL_BUB_54_14.jpg?v=1789171969","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-bubinga-shell-5-4mm-13x5-5-338919","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
