{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-peuplier-5-4mm-14-x5-5-403204","title":"Poplar Shell 5.4Mm 14\"X5.5\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CVL shell follows the tradition of Italian manufacturers specializing in producing shells for builders, workshops, and drummers who want to assemble a unique instrument. It positions itself as a reliable and coherent base for custom configurations, featuring an exclusive manufacturing process aimed at preserving a natural sound output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is intended for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e, backline technicians, luthiers, and custom enthusiasts who want to choose every detail: lugs, trigger, butt plate, hoops, and finishes. Poplar is particularly well-suited for styles seeking a \u003cstrong\u003eversatile\u003c\/strong\u003e and easy-to-control sound (pop, rock, funk, reggae, studio), while remaining relevant for tighter tunings if you aim for a snappier response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and New Developments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eunperforated\u003c\/strong\u003e: drilling for lugs, trigger, butt plate, and vent hole must be performed. To facilitate placement, you can use a \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO16 or LO26 template\u003c\/strong\u003e to precisely position the future drill holes. It is recommended to use drill bits suitable for hardwood and to \u003cstrong\u003emeasure and verify\u003c\/strong\u003e the required diameters according to your hardware before drilling, to ensure clean and perfectly aligned work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCVL highlights an \u003cstrong\u003eexclusive manufacturing process\u003c\/strong\u003e that uses less glue than traditional methods, aiming to produce a shell with a livelier behavior and a more natural sound. The manufacturing process and shells are \u003cstrong\u003eISO 9001 certified\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003esustainable development\u003c\/strong\u003e approach is a priority, with a commitment to reducing environmental impact by continuously optimizing processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e6 plies of poplar\u003c\/strong\u003e, this 14-inch shell offers a sound signature generally appreciated for its \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebalance\u003c\/strong\u003e. Poplar tends to provide present mids, rounded lows, and a less aggressive attack than denser woods, helping to achieve a musical sound quickly, whether playing lightly or with more force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e thickness promotes good resonance and an \"open\" feel under the sticks, while the \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree inner bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a cleaner response and precise tuning. If you are looking for a very specific behavior (softer attack, different drumhead-to-shell contact), the option to request \u003cstrong\u003enon-bearing edge shells\u003c\/strong\u003e may be relevant depending on your project and specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
