The brand highlights an \u003cstrong\u003eexclusive manufacturing process\u003c\/strong\u003e that uses \u003cstrong\u003eless glue\u003c\/strong\u003e than traditional methods to better preserve the wood's vibration and achieve a more organic sound. This olive wood shell fits within a \"drum luthiery\" logic: a high-end base designed for drummers and builders who want to control every choice of hardware, positioning, and configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e, technicians, and all custom enthusiasts looking for a characterful piece to build an instrument coherent with their playing style. The 20-inch diameter is particularly suitable for versatile setups, from studio to stage, with strong relevance for styles seeking definition and presence: rock, pop, funk, fusion, contemporary music, but also more \"roots\" contexts if you adapt the heads and tuning. Since the shell is un-drilled, it requires tools, method, and good planning for assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strength of this CVL shell lies in its customization-oriented design: \u003cstrong\u003eno factory drilling\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing you to precisely choose the placement of lugs, trigger, counterhoop, and vent hole. To guide you, you can use the \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO26\u003c\/strong\u003e templates to correctly position future drilling holes. For a clean result on dense wood like olive, it is recommended to use \u003cstrong\u003e\"hardwood\" drill bits\u003c\/strong\u003e and to \u003cstrong\u003emeasure and verify\u003c\/strong\u003e the required diameters according to your hardware before drilling. This \"build to order\" philosophy is ideal for achieving mounting ergonomics, alignment, and aesthetics perfectly suited to your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive wood is a dense wood with a pronounced grain, often resulting in a sensation of \u003cstrong\u003equick response\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eclear attack\u003c\/strong\u003e. On an 8-ply shell, the overall rigidity increases, promoting a \u003cstrong\u003estrong projection\u003c\/strong\u003e and a well-defined midrange, while maintaining a controllable sustain depending on head and hoop choices. It's an excellent starting point if you're looking for an instrument that \"speaks\" fast, with clear articulation, without sacrificing body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e7.2 mm thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e places this shell in a balanced zone: substantial enough to hold tuning and withstand heavy playing, while remaining lively. The \u003cstrong\u003estandard 45-degree interior bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to effective head vibration with more precise contact, helping to achieve definition, good sensitivity, and clear dynamic response. By adjusting tuning (higher for precision, lower for fullness) and heads (single ply for openness, double ply for control), you can steer this shell toward a tight studio sound or a more massive stage presence.\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\u003ePlies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e8x Olive Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended templates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSparedrum LO16 or Sparedrum LO26 (for hole placement)\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)\"\u003e7.2 mm\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 drilling\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\u003eBearing Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eStandard 45-degree Interior\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly advice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emeasure and verify hardware drilling diameters before drilling\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\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eExclusive CVL manufacturing using less glue than so-called \u0026quot;traditional\u0026quot; methods for a more natural sound\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 major importance on respecting wood sourcing and reducing environmental impact through continuous process improvement\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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn request\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epossibility to create a special shell (choice of wood, plies, etc.)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361899270419,"sku":"338877","price":165.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/4a82e2623e7321d36049861243aecb38bae41a37_CVL_OLI_54_14.jpg?v=1789436515","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-olive-shell-7-2mm-20x7-338877","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
