Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
This CVL shell is aimed at drummers and builders who want to start with a high-end, neutral, and reliable base. The brand highlights an exclusive manufacturing process designed to reduce the amount of glue compared to so-called "traditional" methods, to preserve the wood's vibration and achieve a more organic sound, while relying on ISO 9001 certification and a sustainable development approach.
Who This Drum/Shell Is For
Perfect for intermediate to expert drummers, drum techs, and workshops assembling a "made-to-order" tom. Maple suits rock, pop, funk, jazz, and contemporary music thanks to its balance between attack, warmth, and volume.
Features and New Developments
The shell is delivered unpierced: holes for lugs, trigger, counterhoop, and vent must be drilled. For precise placement, you can use a Sparedrum LO16 or LO26 template. Use "hardwood" drill bits and measure/validate the required diameters according to your hardware before drilling.
Sound Characteristics
Medium-density wood, maple delivers a warm tone and a clear attack, with a wide frequency range that facilitates tuning. In 6 plies (5.4mm), it offers a good compromise between projection, control, and a "lively" feel, highly appreciated both in the studio and on stage.
