Our Challenge for New Sound

We have to maintain our special discriminating high standards concerning our products so that our target audience can both hear and see for themselves the "Canopus" difference.
What is good sound? We believe that our mission is to let the character of material come out fully.
But, if we maintain our special concern as a maker, we have to find ourselves apart from our starting point as drum maker for drummers. If we let only the products with our approval be in market, it will be impossible to embody the request of drummer, when our ideal sound and drummers ideal sound disagree.
Is it an ego of maker? Is there only one sound in this world, where people have different taste and orientations.
Our answer to that question is our classification of our products by 2 badges.By this classification by badges, we will be able to offer new sound character and appearance.

This is the theme of Canopus for 2005.

Hoop Selection Program

		Canopus has been using 8-tension die cast hoop for embodiment of our ideal sound of snare drums. However, in order to respond wide range of request by different drummers and to offer our snare drums at more reasonable price, you can choose press hoop or die cast hoop when you place an order from 2005 Catalogue.

Canopus engineer team is proud to announce Birch series that has unprecedented sound character.

1.Birch has its particular rich sound unlike Maple.

2.When you play fast phrase, each beat sounds clearly.

3.Clear musical interval in different size drums.

4.Low and loud sound unlike Maple.

5.Straight sound projection unlike shells with reinforcement.

Canopus has perfected its Maple shell drums by choosing the different width of reinforcements and different numbers of plies depending on its shell sizes.
It is the masterpiece of acoustic drums with clean and clear sound.

You can see the core of the Maple sound. Canopus Maple series drums are highly appreciated by Jazz, Pops and Fusion drummers. Rock drummers gave us advices for us, too. We also faced the request of Rock drummers asking us more straightforward sound projection.
We admit the fact that rich sounding of reinforcement in Maple shell will work adversely in so called "loud" Rock situation.

Canopus' Birch Series Drums are the culmination of a year of research and development and simply have become the answer to those Rock drummers requests.
Our new Birch series drums have an overwhelming advantage in that they inherently possess in sound presence, volume, clear musical intervals, sharpness in tone and overall characters.
