Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

CVL develops and manufactures drum shells in Italy intended for drum making and custom build projects. The MxBE series highlights a hybrid approach: leveraging the versatility of Maple while adding the sonic personality of Beech. This type of construction is aimed at drummers and builders who want a responsive shell, strong in dynamics, capable of remaining musical at low volume while maintaining presence when played loud.

Within a performance-oriented shell range, this MxBE positions itself as a very balanced choice: sharper than a 100% Maple shell, and easier to "place" in a mix than a very characterful shell. It is an excellent starting point for designing a 13-inch tom, a timbale, or a snare drum project depending on the hardware and drumheads you choose.

Who Is This Drum/Shell For?

This 13-inch shell is aimed at intermediate to expert musicians, careful DIYers, as well as assembly workshops that want to control every detail: choice of lugs, throw-off, butt plate, vent, and layout. The fact that it is un-drilled is a clear advantage for creating a custom instrument but requires having the necessary tools and method for clean and perfectly aligned drilling.

Regarding styles, the Maple Beech combination is comfortable across very varied aesthetics: rock, pop, funk, gospel, contemporary music, but also modern jazz when precise articulation is sought. The pronounced attack and projection facilitate stage playing, while the quick response helps maintain definition in close miking.
