The next step – classic sound evolved
While many steel snare drums may have a somewhat uncontrollable sound, the Canopus S-1450 gives steel a new character. By finishing the drum with nickel plating, and using solid brass tube this drum has a balanced and mellow sound – whilst still retaining the desired brightness of steel. This drum has a presence that will never be overshadowed by the mid-range tones of string and keyboard instruments.
Unlike many steel drums, the distinct sharp sound of our steel drum gives no impression of cheapness and coldness.
*Over time, the surface of nickel plating may gradually develop a different patina.
We encourage you to enjoy the character of its vintage appearance.

Power Hoop (steel 2.3mm)
Power Hoops have a low 17.5mm height. They produce an uncompressed sound and a full, broad rim shot. The edge height allows ease of playability and may also reduce missed rim shots.
Shell
Steel 1mm with Nickel Plate
A nylon nut is built in the strainer switch CSA-20S.
Canopus’ switch is so designed to prevent “loosening of snare wire” during the performance by creating moderate friction on the tension adjustment dial by the torque controlled nylon nut.
