Bop KitA 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.

The new SB Groove kit (with shallower bass drum 22x15) is now available to ship. Canopus artist Alyssa Jacey @alyssajaceyofficial just received hers in the stunning Indigo Matte Lacquer finish!

Canopus has made some of my favorite drums for years now, so I’m incredibly honored to be an artist with them and especially proud to be using this incredible Yaiba bop kit.
I’ve always held a fondness for small kits, they can punch if tuned right and are a godsend for load ins. This Yaiba is one of the best I’ve ever played, the easiest to tune with surprising volume and body for its size. It allows me to express myself the way I need to and for that, I say thank you Canopus.

I absolutely love my Yaiba Bop kit. Despite its compact bass drum size, it delivers a big, powerful sound that truly stands out. The Indigo Matte finish is stunning, and the kit is incredibly easy to tune to suit any musical style or preference. It`s a highly versatile and compact setup—perfectly suited for small spaces, yet bold enough for the biggest stages. I use my Yaiba kit for everything—from intimate club gigs and large festivals to weddings and teaching sessions. It never lets me down.

Currently touring in China — this video was taken at Meeting Jazz, one of the best venues I’ve had the pleasure of playing. 🇨🇳🥁
The Canopus Yaiba II has become my voice as a drummer and an artist. I’m truly grateful to canopusdrums for crafting such a beautiful instrument. No matter where I go, it lets me express myself with honesty and clarity.
My main Yaiba is a stunning Antique Brown Matt LQ, but here I’m playing a Gray Sparkle finish — and it sounds just as incredible.
To my fellow drummers: if you haven’t tried the Yaiba II yet, I really encourage you to. You’ll be surprised at how responsive, musical, and inspiring this kit is.

Actualmente estoy de gira por China — este video fue grabado en Meeting Jazz, uno de los mejores lugares en los que he tocado. 🇨🇳🥁
La Canopus Yaiba II se ha convertido en mi voz como baterista y como artista. Estoy profundamente agradecido con canopusdrums por crear un instrumento tan bello. No importa a dónde vaya, esta batería me permite expresarme con honestidad y claridad.
Mi batería Yaiba tiene un acabado hermoso en Antique Brown Matt LQ, pero en esta ocasión estoy tocando una con acabado Gray Sparkle — y suena igual de increíble.
A mis colegas bateristas: si aún no han probado la Yaiba II, de verdad se los recomiendo. Les va a sorprender lo sensible, musical e inspiradora que es esta batería 🎵🥁

The warmth and aesthetic of the Yaiba II Bop Kit are an aural and visual wonder! I’m in love with these drums for their dexterity and the attention to detail they were crafted with. They perform equally well in dead, low, medium, high, and cranked tunings! Plus the Yaiba Gray Sparkle… say no more… I’m very honored to join the Canopus family of artists.
Steve Davis
I have endorsed a number of great drums up to this point in my career. I must say that Canopus allows me to play with the nuance that I love to use in the music I play. They are transparent but focused in sound and wonderfully responsive. The attention to detail that these drums are made with rivals anything anywhere! I really love playing Canopus drums and will continue to play them for many years to come. Thank you all at Canopus for my artist endorsement.

The yaiba kits are great. Great shell construction, perfect finishes with zero overlap. They give me the booming toms that I need with a fat punchy kick, providing the perfect amount of attack and clarity in each hit. These kits are Timeless.

Unboxing, tuning and playing the Yaiba is a wonderfull experience. The looks, the colors and the
finishing are amazing, students at IMEP • Paris College of Music are very lucky !
I tried different ways for tuning the sets, and each brought a great result : an excellent drum set !

“The Yaiba Groove kit from Canopus is a beautifully crafted, all birch shell drum kit that has the warmth and attack that performs well under any venue and any genre of music. It sounds great, feels great, it is THE best drum kit I have ever played.” I get compliments all the time from other artist and sound engineers how well this drum kit sounds. Dutch Opperman from Altitude Lighting said about the Canopus Yaiba Groove kit, ” This drum kit is a great sounding drum kit, it really punches through the mix and has a great warmth to it.” I am very pleased with the Yaiba Groove Drum Kit. Thank you Canopus for making such an outstanding drum kit. I LOVE THIS DRUM KIT!!!!

The new drums were great last night, pretty much out of the box. I did a concert with guitarist John Abercrombie, beautiful clear sound to the kit, really lightweight for set up and knock down. This is my new NYC drum set.

I have worked in Retail 20 years and have seen alot of drum ideas as well as worked in the production of Music and I have never seen a company that pays such detail as in Sound as Canopus the various snare strands to produce different results the innovation of boring out a shell with such success.

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).
Robert Anderson / Lone Star Percussion, TX USA
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.

In my long relationship with Canopus -since the very first time, when I went to the small old factory and was introduced to Zelkova snare (Canopus’ only original product by then, circa 1988) – I’ve never had the slightest doubt about the quality that came from the ideas (and ideals) of Shinichi Usuda-san, founder and president of the company.
When the first R.F.M. Maple came up, I had the honor of being the first foreign drummer to test it and obtain it. That’s a set that I will keep with me for my whole life. The new Yaiba series keeps the high Canopus level standards and was specifically designed to provision the needs of the difficult economic times the whole planet now endures. It is perfect for the kind of music I make (samba-jazz), but it is also perfect for any musical situation. As I use to say: Canopus, no doubt, is the future today.
Sean / Boston Drum Center, MA USA
It looks and sounds great and the price is very reasonable.
