{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-chene-5-4mm-14-x6-256476","title":"OAK SHELL 5.4MM 14\"X6\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned and manufactured in Italy, this CVL shell embodies a quality-focused and consistent approach, with an ISO 9001 certified process. The brand highlights an exclusive method that uses less glue than traditional techniques to preserve wood vibration and achieve a more organic sound. Within the range, this type of un-drilled shell is positioned as a premium base for drummers, technicians, and snare builders seeking a reliable finish level while retaining full freedom for \"à la carte\" assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis snare drum shell is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e, custom build enthusiasts, and workshops wanting to assemble a truly personalized snare (choice of hoops, throw-off, butt plate, vent, and drumheads). It is also suitable for discerning musicians who want to steer their instrument towards \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emetal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e genres, where a snare is expected to have a clear presence, immediate projection, and articulate definition, even at high volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key feature of this shell is its \u003cstrong\u003eun-drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e format: no imposed lug spacing constraints, allowing you to select the exact hardware you want and customize ergonomics (throw-off position, vent placement, hoop alignment). To facilitate precise drilling, it is recommended to use a Sparedrum \u003cstrong\u003eLO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLO26\u003c\/strong\u003e template to correctly position future holes. For this type of dense wood, using \"hardwood\" drill bits and pre-checking the required diameters for your hardware help ensure clean drilling and stress-free assembly, without chips or unwanted play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e is prized for its density and stiffness, which generally translate into a \u003cstrong\u003efast attack\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehigh projection\u003c\/strong\u003e, and an immediate \"punch\" feel under the stick. On a snare drum, this promotes a well-defined sound with a solid center and excellent ghost note clarity when tuning and timbre are properly optimized. Oak also tends to offer a very stable response at high volume, making it a favored choice for live settings where the snare must remain prominent in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e6 plies\u003c\/strong\u003e and a thickness of \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, this shell strikes an interesting balance: thin enough to let the wood breathe and produce musical vibration, while maintaining durability and projection. The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree inner bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances precision and facilitates clear tuning by emphasizing \"crack\" and definition. Depending on the drumheads, hoops, and timbre you choose, you can steer the sound towards a sharper, more modern snare or, conversely, gain warmth by favoring components that enrich the low mids.\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\u003eNumber of plies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6x Oak\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrilling advice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003euse \u0026quot;hardwood\u0026quot; drill bits for clean shell drilling\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\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: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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustainability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eCVL emphasizes respect for wood sourcing and continuous improvement of processes to minimize environmental impact\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\u003eBearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e45-degree inner\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial shell production available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003echoice of wood and ply configuration upon request\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\u003eUn-drilled shell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eholes for hoops, throw-off, butt plate, and vent must be drilled\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":54358577971475,"sku":"256476","price":97.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/52a09fda0d70a0be99323b54b2b6bfd2203c97f4_CVL_OAK_54_14.jpg?v=1789160284","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-oak-shell-5-4mm-14-x6-256476","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
