Product Description
A New Sound Direction for Canopus drums
Canopus have managed to produce a drum sound that suits any musical situation, with a combination of forced-hardening lacquer and shell construction without reinforcement.This sound has attracted leading drummers such as Stevie Wonder and Kenny Washington as well as up and coming drummers such as Mark Whitfield Jr., Justin Tyson and Joe Dyson to name a few. They have checked all of the Canopus series, and have chosen the Yaiba Ⅱ as their preferred drum set.Series like the RFM have a thin, resonant shell with reinforcing rings – this gives a rich mid-low end which gives players a very pleasant feel. With Yaiba II, we have managed the combination of the thickness of the shell and the hardness of the forced-hardening lacquer to create a new sound – which provides more projection and a “solid” sound.

Reviews from Canopus Dealer Around the World
I believe that it is the best value in professional handcrafted drums. The Maple Bop kit is a jazz or funk lover’s dream, and the Birch Groove kit cuts through today’s high-energy music with beautiful sounding tone and power (when needed).
Darryl Bonebrake / Music Arts Enterprises
In a blind test I feel the Groove Kit will stand up to any birch kit out there! Even those costing 2 – 3 times as much. Great low end as well as a superb attack!
The Bop Kit sounds amazing! I don’t think you could find a better set in this price range. The craftsmanship, hardware and lacquer are top notch.
Robert Anderson / Lone Star Percussion, TX USA
I think that this is the best sounding kit compared to other kits in this price range.
Shane Kinney / Drum Center of Portsmouth, NH USA
High end drum sounds for a mid range price!The Yaiba series will serve everyone from a beginner practicing at home, to a pro playing at a music festival well…Ideal for all players, anywhere, anytime!
