Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
This shell fits within the CVL approach: offering shells made in Italy with an exclusive process that uses less glue than so-called "traditional" methods. The goal is to achieve a more organic sound while relying on an ISO 9001 certified process and a sustainability-oriented approach.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
Ideal for drummers and craftsmen (intermediate to expert) who want to assemble a custom snare or shell, using dense and expressive wood. Suitable for styles requiring presence and definition: rock, fusion, metal, funk, studio.
Features and Innovations
The shell is delivered unpierced: holes for lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent must be made. CVL also allows special projects (choice of wood, plies) depending on availability and specifications.
Sound
Wenge is a hard and dense wood that promotes a clear attack, solid projection, and precise articulation of strokes. At a thickness of 5.4 mm, it generally provides controlled sustain and dynamic response, interesting for both tight and more open tuning intervals.
