This \"vintage\" approach stands as a prime option in the range for drummers and manufacturers seeking an authentic sound but with current and consistent manufacturing quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is intended for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert\u003c\/strong\u003e drummers, technicians, luthiers, and custom enthusiasts who want to build a tailor-made instrument. It is particularly suited for musical styles where \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etone\u003c\/strong\u003e are sought: vintage rock, blues, soul, funk, pop, indie, and all studio situations where a full and musical sound without excessive harshness is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing you to adapt the project to your preferences: choice of lugs, type of trigger if used as a snare, precise positioning of the vent hole, or respecting a specific lug spacing. CVL recommends using a \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLO26\u003c\/strong\u003e template to correctly place future drill holes, as well as drill bits suitable for \u003cstrong\u003ehardwoods\u003c\/strong\u003e to ensure clean cuts. The exclusive CVL manufacturing process, designed to use less glue than traditional methods, aims to preserve freer vibrational behavior for a sound perceived as more natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of \u003cstrong\u003eAfrican mahogany\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epoplar\u003c\/strong\u003e is a classic in vintage constructions. Mahogany generally provides a sensation of \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eroundness\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a generous low-midrange, very pleasant for achieving a shell that \"fills\" the space without becoming aggressive. Poplar, lighter and more balanced, contributes to a supple response and natural musicality, reinforcing the organic quality sought in 60s\/70s sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e, the philosophy remains rather resonant: the shell responds easily, with vibrations that favor harmonic richness and the \"body\" of the sound. The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree inner bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e helps maintain attack precision while allowing the depth and roundness characteristic of this wood type to express themselves. The result is a vintage character with sufficient definition to be effective both live and in recording.\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:4;--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)\"\u003e2x African Mahogany - 1x White Poplar - 2x African Mahogany\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e45-degree inner\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--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)\"\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--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)\"\u003e16 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357392916755,"sku":"233646","price":316.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a3bdbaee1b9184d9c37042d49cb9ab3e58fff2f8_CVL_VIN_54_14.jpg?v=1789166217","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-vintage-shell-5-4mm-16-x18-233646","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
