Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
This CVL shell fits within a "custom" logic: starting from a high-end luthiery base, made in Italy, then fully customizing the instrument (lugs, throw-off, vent, finish). The use of an exclusive manufacturing process that limits the amount of glue aims to preserve the natural acoustic response of the wood while maintaining production consistency thanks to ISO 9001 certification.
Who This Drum/Shell Is For
This shell is intended for intermediate to expert drummers, luthiers, and anyone wishing to build a 13-inch snare drum or tom with a distinctive character. Perfect for contexts where personality is sought (rock, pop, funk, acoustic music, studio), with a decidedly artisanal approach in the choice of hardware and drilling.
Features and New Developments
Delivered unpierced, this shell gives you the freedom to precisely position lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent hole. To ensure safe assembly, it is recommended to use a Sparedrum LO16 or LO26 template, as well as "hardwood" drill bits. Always measure and verify the drilling diameters required by your hardware before any operation.
Sound Characteristics
Olive wood is appreciated for its dense grain and sonic identity: a clear attack, a pronounced warmth in the midrange, and a strong presence, while maintaining definition. With a thickness of 5.4 mm and standard 45-degree interior bevels, it achieves a balance between responsiveness and control, suitable for both high, articulate tunings and lower, rounder, deeper tensions.
