Birch Shell

The direct, powerful sound for today’s music

CANOPUS’ presentation of our ideal sound in the R.F.M. series was enthusiastically supported by many drummers. However, historically speaking, a musical instrument has to change in order to adapt to new playing methods, new genres and trends of a new age. A musical instrument is always destined to face new demands, even if the manufacturer makes their masterpiece with confidence. CANOPUS understands this challenge. Hard rock and funk drummers want a fast, fundamental, projecting tone and this becamea key focus for our next development.

In order to achieve this sound, we decided to use shells without reinforcement. After trying many materials, our research concluded that birch worked best for rock. Extensive trial and error went into determining the ply and edge angle on the drum shells. The result is a drum with startling sound character that will reinvent the image of the birch shell. Our birch series has a weathered and rich sound, because of less dense birch and a slightly weaker molding pressure. All of these findings were discovered unexpectedly and worked out quite well for us.

Our birch series has a powerful, sustaining low end with a fast release and excellent sound projection. It is the embodiment of the sound we envisioned for the birch series. Our birch drums are now used by many drummers live, in the studio, or wherever this powerful tone is needed.

Bolt Tight

We developed BoltTight to not only prevent tension rods from loosening but it also cuts that undesirable metallic sound and brings the “deep and fat” sound out of your drums. Also, it makes tuning much easier!

In order to have the maximum potential from our snare wire, we developed Snare Cord (CNC) and Snare Belt (CNB).

For CNB, we have selected flexible nylon fiber for its excellent durability in a woven belt. With this innovative snare belt, we got a natural response of a snare wire similar to the snare wire cord, and what is more, the choked sound caused by conventional film belt is not noticed at all.

NV60-M5 Snare Drum

The sound that was loved back in the 60’s by drummers in many genres, such as Jazz, Rock and R&B, has come back to life!
We managed to produce a thick and warm sound by applying Canopus’ original edge shaping method to European Maple shells. Additionally, the classic combination of uniquely shaped reinforcement rings, flat gray interior coating, and inner muffler has been reproduced. The sound of power and tone from that era is back!

60年代にジャズ、ロック、R&Bなどジャンルを超えて愛されたあの音を再現しました。あの時代のパワー&トーンが蘇ります。
ヨーロピアンメイプルを使用し、カノウプス独自のエッジシェイピングを施工することで太さとふくよかさを演出しています。
