  • Condition: This drum is a one of a kind and has been treated like the rarity it is. It is in mint condition and I think the pictures show that to be the case. I'm selling it with both die cast rims and traditional flanged hoops. That way the purchaser has the option for two distinctly different sounds.

    Description

    This beauty is a one off from Canopus. At the time I was playing with a double pedal so I preferred the 13" diameter snare to 14". I was interested in a stave type drum so Canopus thought this could possibly simulate that sound. I am selling it with BOTH die cast and regular hoops. Some folks feel that die cast hoops can choke a smaller diameter snare, so I am offering this great drum with both options. As usual, the drum is impeccably made with highest attention paid to both detail AND quality.
    Canopus describes one version of these snares this way:
    This Snare Drum is truly worthy to be called “THE Maple” because of its natural brilliance, good sound projection, and a complex, controlled high-pitched overtone series. Standard equipped vintage snare wires give it a sensitive feel, and the shell construction is designed for the best sound production with a delicate and precise bearing edge.
    As far as I know, there is not another one of these around
