{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-mxbe-5-4mm-12x6-233546","title":"Shell Mxbe 5.4MM 12X6\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CVL MxBE shell fits within a \"modern lutherie\" approach: combining complementary woods to achieve a balance between musicality and performance. Here, maple provides versatile response, while beech enhances character, precision, and power. The result clearly targets custom drum projects and demanding setups, with an exclusive manufacturing process claimed to use less glue than so-called \"traditional\" methods, promoting a more natural sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is primarily aimed at drummers and craftsmen who want to \u003cstrong\u003ebuild a tom\u003c\/strong\u003e (or a drum set piece) from a high-end base: DIY enthusiasts, drum technicians, custom shops, or musicians seeking a specific configuration. Its \"attack + power\" temperament suits styles where the drum needs to remain clear in the mix: rock, pop, funk, fusion, metal, and live contexts. In the studio, it will appeal to those looking for clear definition and controlled low end, with good tuning flexibility depending on heads and hoop types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key point of this model is its \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid construction\u003c\/strong\u003e (maple outside, beech inside) combined with precise thickness and a 45-degree inner bearing edge designed to optimize head seating and responsiveness. The shell is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eun-drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e: a major advantage if you want to place your lugs, trigger, counterhoop, and vent holes according to your hardware, setup (suspended tom, mounted on stand, etc.), or aesthetic constraints. To correctly position future drillings, it is recommended to use a Sparedrum \u003cstrong\u003eLO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLO26\u003c\/strong\u003e template and carefully check the required diameters before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaple is often sought after for its \u003cstrong\u003eversatility\u003c\/strong\u003e: balanced response, nice warmth, natural sustain, and adaptability to many tunings. Placed in the outer plies, it also contributes to a \"smooth\" playing feel and musicality that remains pleasant even when head tension is increased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeech, used in the inner plies, brings a denser and more \u003cstrong\u003eenergetic\u003c\/strong\u003e signature: pronounced attack, solid projection, and a clear presence in the midrange. On a 12-inch diameter, this combination favors a tom that \"speaks\" quickly, with power, while retaining a warm foundation. The 45-degree inner bearing edge generally enhances attack precision and clarity, helping to achieve a defined sound, especially appreciated in live settings and rhythmic styles.\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:11;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emaple\/beech\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo be drilled according to your hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eholes for lugs, trigger, counterhoop, and vent\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:12;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOuter plies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emaple\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePositioning aid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSparedrum LO16 or LO26 template (to correctly place future drill holes)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:13;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner plies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebeech\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;
