Canopus’ presentation of their 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 became a key focus for their next development.
In order to achieve this sound, Canopus decided to use shells without reinforcement. After trying many materials, their 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. Canopus' birch series has a weathered and rich sound, because of less dense birch and a slightly weaker molding pressure.
