Although several drum manufacturers tried carbon fiber in the past. the shortcomings of carbon fiber drums are pointed out. For example. "It has good sound projection but its sound is not comfortable to human ears" or "Tuning range is limited". On the other hand. in the recent music scene. a mixed. loud type of music is influencing other genres of music. A more aggressive drum sound is expected from rock and pop music. To respond to such situations. CANOPUS is presenting the carbon fiber shell in collaboration with ROCKET SHELL of U.S.A.

This carbon fiber shell is a combination of the same carbon fiber and epoxy resin used in the aerospace industry. This material has an excellent sound transmission without absorbing vibration energy. Therefore. it has realized a supreme sound projection. outstanding attack and long sustain like the properties of hard wood. It produces a rich mid range and solid sound because of its shell construction. which is like a built-in reinforcement.

We put the CANOPUS original edge shaping on this carbon fiber shell and created an unprecedented comfortable sound with a wide tuning range. Its existence stands out in band with an explosive sound. This is the sound expected by hard hitting drummers.
