Message to CANOPUS

I will never forget the first time I played on a Canopus drum set. I immediately thought to myself, "What are these drums? They sound amazing!" Ever since then, I would see their drums pop up here and there at a venue wherever I was in the world. I was simply blown away at how great these drums consistently felt and sounded. As a lover of that vintage drum sound, I knew that Canopus were the only drums for me. They are the only company out there today who has successfully recreated that sound. On top of that, their drums look beautiful!
