Description

Essential Information About the CVL Walnut 14-Inch Snare Drum Shell

  • 6-ply Walnut Shell for a balanced and musical response
  • 5.4 mm Thickness: a good compromise between resonance and control
  • 45-degree Interior Bevels for precise attack and solid head seating
  • Unpierced Shell: ideal for custom mounting (lugs, trigger, vent)

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

Manufactured in Italy, this CVL shell is part of a controlled industrial quality approach, with a manufacturing process and shells certified ISO 9001. The brand highlights an exclusive process that uses less glue than so-called "traditional" methods to preserve a more natural wood behavior. CVL also places great importance on sustainable development and respecting wood sourcing, with a continuous goal to reduce environmental impact.

Who This Drum/Shell Is For

This snare drum shell is aimed at demanding drummers, technicians, and custom snare builders (workshops, DIY, luthiers) who want to choose their hardware and configuration. Thanks to walnut, it is particularly suited for styles where body and substance are sought (rock, pop, studio, funk, hip-hop), while remaining versatile with good harmonic control.

Features and New Developments

The shell is delivered unpierced: holes for lugs, trigger, butt plate, and vent must be drilled after marking. To correctly position the drillings, you can use the Sparedrum LO16 or LO26 template. For a clean result, it is recommended to use "hardwood" drill bits and to measure and verify the required drilling diameters for your hardware before any operation.

Sound Characteristics

Walnut is appreciated for its rich and balanced sonic signature: present low-mids, natural warmth, and generally softer highs compared to very bright woods. On a snare drum, this translates into a defined attack, controlled sustain, and solid projection, particularly pleasant in studio or live contexts when you want "grain" without harshness.

With its 6 plies and 5.4 mm thickness, the shell maintains good resonance while providing stability and control. The 45-degree interior bevels promote a crisp response and good sensitivity, especially with precise head tuning.
