Zelkova “GINRAN” Snare Drum
Zelkova “GINRAN” Snare Drum
$2,999.63
The Zelkova Snare Drum, which has a hollowed one piece drum shell, can be described as the purest form of the drum. Only one hollowed piece can be taken from a stump of precious 200 year old Zelkova wood, also called Akagi or “red wood”. The sound that is produced from a single piece of wood has a unique and powerful attack. Each stroke produces a “block of sound” with a sharp edge and a thick low pitch, while maintaining the warmth of natural wood. The special nature of Zelkova is highly revered and sought after by top drummers around the world.

I absolutely love my Canopus Zelkova Snare Drum! Its incredible sensitivity, clarity, and tone make it my go-to snare for a wide range of genres - from Jazz and Funk to Rock and Pop gigs. I highly recommend this drum to any drummer looking for exceptional sound and responsiveness.
This video is a short excerpt from the upcoming book Modern Linear Funk Drumming by legendary drummer and educator Jim Payne, along with Canopus artist Mike Shannon. The book will be published by Sher Music and is scheduled for release in 2026.

Canopus Drums Zelkova 14x5. Made from a single piece of hollowed out tree trunk, it sports SOLID brass lugs, Bolt-Tight leather washers, die cast hoops, amazing snare wires, Remo USA heads and a bearing edge you could slice a tomato on. Dynamic, sensitive, dry and crisp - this is an heirloom centerpiece that you`ll want on every gig. - @drumcenternh

Canopus is highlighting their wood snare drums throughout November, so I wanted to give a big shout out to the Zelkova snare. I`ve had my Zelkova 6.5x14 snare drum for 3 years now, and it continues to be the best drum I`ve ever played. It has a rich musical tone, clear articulation, and a huge dynamic range. It`s my go-to snare for all of my gigs and recording sessions, whether jazz, funk, R&B, or Latin. Thank you Canopus for all of your amazing drums and support!
