The brand highlights an exclusive process that uses \u003cstrong\u003eless glue\u003c\/strong\u003e than traditional methods to preserve a more natural vibrational behavior of the wood. Production control is structured around an \u003cstrong\u003eISO 9001 certified process\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring essential consistency when building a custom drum kit or replacing a shell in an existing set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is aimed at drummers and technicians who want to \u003cstrong\u003edesign a custom tom or snare drum\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as workshops, luthiers, and DIY enthusiasts seeking a reliable base. Being \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it particularly suitable for projects where precise placement of lugs, trigger (if mounted as a snare), counterhoop, and vent is desired. In terms of styles, olive wood and the contained thickness suit both \u003cstrong\u003estudio\u003c\/strong\u003e contexts (nuances, sensitivity) and live settings where an instrument with \u003cstrong\u003echaracter\u003c\/strong\u003e and definition is sought, from pop to rock, including funk and acoustic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main advantage of this shell lies in its design for customization: no drilling is done at the factory, giving you full freedom to choose your hardware and its layout. To guide you, you can use a \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLO26\u003c\/strong\u003e template to correctly position the future drilling holes. For a clean and durable result, it is recommended to use \u003cstrong\u003e\"hardwood\" drill bits\u003c\/strong\u003e, then \u003cstrong\u003emeasure and verify\u003c\/strong\u003e the diameters required by your hardware before drilling (lugs, trigger, counterhoop, vent). The standard \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree inner bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures a clean drumhead seating and stable tuning, useful for quickly achieving a focused pitch and good harmonic control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive wood is sought after for its \u003cstrong\u003edensity\u003c\/strong\u003e and unique sonic signature: it generally delivers a precise attack, excellent clarity, and an \"organic\" grain that highlights the shell's personality. With 6 plies and a thickness of \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, the shell maintains good vibration freedom: dynamics are more touch-sensitive, and the instrument easily responds to playing variations, from light strokes to stronger accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice of a standard 45-degree inner bearing edge promotes a clear response and a \"clean\" tuning feel, with balanced projection. Combined with the CVL process using less glue, the goal is to preserve a more natural wood behavior, for more open resonance and evident musicality, especially on medium to open tunings. Depending on drumheads and setup, this shell can offer a sound ranging from warm and woody to tighter and more articulated, ideal for precise patterns and a clear mix.\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:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--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)\"\u003e12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003euse \u0026quot;hardwood\u0026quot;
