{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-mxbe-7-2mm-20x8-338811","title":"MXBE SHELL 7.2MM 20X8","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CVL MxBE shell fits within a \"lutherie\" approach focused on performance and customization: a high-quality shell, made in Italy, designed for those who want to master every detail of their instrument. CVL highlights an exclusive manufacturing process that uses less glue than traditional methods, preserving a more natural wood behavior and freer resonance. Within the range, the MxBE concept is positioned as a versatile and powerful solution, combining the musicality of maple with the more edgy signature of beech, to achieve a responsive, powerful shell that is easy to use both in the studio and on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 20-inch drum shell is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert drummers, technicians, craftsmen, and custom build enthusiasts who want to construct a bass drum (or a shell dedicated to a specific project) with full control over hardware, lug placement, and choice of drumheads. It is particularly suitable for styles seeking \u003cstrong\u003epunch\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epresence\u003c\/strong\u003e: rock, pop, funk, fusion, contemporary music, as well as live contexts requiring clear attack and robust projection. For beginners, it remains accessible provided they are assisted during the drilling and assembly phase, as the shell is delivered unpierced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CVL MxBE is designed to optimize response and reliability: its 8-ply construction (maple\/beech\/maple) and 7.2 mm thickness offer an excellent balance between rigidity and vibration, resulting in a crisp attack, good acoustic power, and a stable tuning feel. The standard 45deg inner bearing edges promote a clean seating of the drumhead, improving tuning precision and definition while maintaining a substantial low-end on a 20\" diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key point for custom projects is the \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced shell\u003c\/strong\u003e: holes for lugs, trigger, counterhoop, and vent must be made according to your configuration. For coherent placement, you can use a \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLO26\u003c\/strong\u003e template. To achieve clean drilling in dense woods, it is recommended to use \"hardwood\" drill bits and carefully measure the diameters required by your hardware before proceeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emaple\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebeech\u003c\/strong\u003e combination is sought after for its balance between musicality and impact. The outer maple plies provide a versatile signature: rounded lows, even response across the spectrum, and a highly appreciated \"mix-ready\" feel, with natural warmth that supports both open tunings and more controlled settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner beech plies reinforce the structure and add what many drummers describe as more \u003cstrong\u003ebite\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e: the attack stands out more, the low mids are tighter, and the note definition remains clear even at high volume. On a 20\" shell, this character results in a bass drum that is both compact and punchy, with good foot responsiveness and controllable sustain depending on the choice of drumheads, muffling, and tuning. The outcome is a shell that takes hits, responds quickly, and maintains a strong presence, whether you seek a tight kick for contemporary music or a broader resonance for more \"open\" tunings.\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)
