This wenge shell fits into a \"custom\" logic: offering a very high-quality base, ready to be drilled and equipped according to your specifications, while leveraging an optimized gluing process aimed at preserving a more organic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the range, it positions itself as a demanding choice, intended for drummers and builders seeking a wood with a strong character and a reliable platform for a custom snare or tom.\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, workshops, and anyone wishing to assemble a personalized instrument rather than buying a standard model. Being un-drilled means you need to know how to measure, mark, drill cleanly, and mount hardware precisely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWenge is particularly suited to styles where presence and definition are desired: rock, metal, fusion, gospel, contemporary music, studio, and amplified live settings. It can also work very well in more subtle contexts, provided you choose heads and tuning that favor openness and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe major feature lies in the \u003cstrong\u003eexclusive CVL manufacturing process\u003c\/strong\u003e that uses less glue than so-called traditional methods. The goal is twofold: to improve the shell's vibrational response and achieve a more natural sound while maintaining excellent stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eun-drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e: holes for lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent must be made before assembly. To guide you, you can use the \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum LO26\u003c\/strong\u003e templates to correctly position the future drillings. It is recommended to use \u003cstrong\u003ehardwood drill bits\u003c\/strong\u003e and to \u003cstrong\u003emeasure and verify\u003c\/strong\u003e the required drilling diameters according to the chosen hardware beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003estandard 45-degree interior bearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a versatile base: good tuning precision, clear attack, and effective head-to-shell contact for a crisp response, particularly appreciated on instruments with a pronounced sonic temperament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWenge\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dense wood, known for its projection and deep sonic signature. On a shell of this type, you generally get a \u003cstrong\u003esolid\u003c\/strong\u003e and \"compact\" low end, with a \u003cstrong\u003esharp attack\u003c\/strong\u003e that highlights the definition of strokes, even at high volume. The density of wenge also promotes an immediate response feel, highly valued for articulated playing and rimshots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of ply construction and the CVL process aimed at limiting glue quantity contributes to freer vibration and a less \"muffled\" sound. The result: an interesting balance between \u003cstrong\u003econtrol\u003c\/strong\u003e (focused, clear sound) and \u003cstrong\u003emusicality\u003c\/strong\u003e (present harmonics but manageable through choice of heads, hoops, and tuning). This shell thus forms an excellent base for designing a premium-character instrument, equally credible in studio and on stage.\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)\"\u003e6x Wenge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrillings to be made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003elugs, throw-off, butt plate, vent hole\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)\"\u003e5.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement 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\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\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 traditional methods (more natural sound)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003euse hardwood drill bits and verify drilling diameters according to hardware 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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustainability commitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eemphasis on respecting wood sourcing and continuous improvement of processes to reduce environmental impact\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\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\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\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358452273427,"sku":"348638","price":126.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/184983ceae2ff858ffeaf9c36c9f8647f04306e8_CVL_WEN_54_14_65_17db75a3-d3dd-49eb-8f65-a9905d610839.jpg?v=1789166137","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-wenge-shell-5-4mm-14-x6-5-348638","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
