Essential Information About the CVL 18-Inch Olive Wood Drum Shell

  • Raw unperforated shell: ideal for custom projects, restoration, or drum making (drilling to be done according to your hardware).
  • 7 plies of olive wood for a high-end aesthetic and balanced sound response, with clear definition.
  • Exclusive CVL process using less glue than traditional bonding, for a more natural and "open" sound.
  • Made in Italy, manufacturing process and shells certified ISO 9001, with a 5-year warranty.

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

CVL develops and manufactures shells in Italy aimed at demanding drummers, custom kit builders, and customization workshops. This olive wood model fits into a "premium shell" approach: selected materials, controlled process (ISO 9001), and proprietary manufacturing method designed to reduce glue usage to preserve the natural character of the wood as much as possible.

Who This Drum/Shell Is For

This shell is intended for intermediate to expert drummers, technicians, and custom drum enthusiasts who want to assemble a tom, bass drum, or set component with a high-end finish. Its 18-inch size is particularly suited for rock, pop, funk, and contemporary music setups, where presence, projection, and precision are sought.

Features and Innovations

Delivered unperforated, this shell gives you the freedom to position lugs, triggers, brackets, and vent holes according to your specifications. For reliable placement, you can use a Sparedrum LO16 or LO26 template. For a clean result on a hard wood like olive, it is recommended to use "hard wood" drill bits and to measure and verify the required drilling diameters for your hardware before proceeding.

Sound Characteristics

Thanks to its construction with 7 plies of olive wood, this shell offers an articulate response with a clear attack and good sustain. The goal of the CVL process, which uses less glue than traditional methods, is to promote a more natural shell behavior: a livelier sound with a less "restricted" resonance feel and more expressive dynamics.
