| Leon Taylor (Snare Drum) |
<PROCESS>
Proposition given by Leon Taylor was "rock sound" with good projection and attack, utilizing the advantages of Canopus snare drum. We thought thinner shell could be effective in order to highlight the attach sound that Leon meant. 4 materials have been nominated for this purpose, they were 6 ply Maple with 4mm thickness, birch, brass with 1mm thickness and aluminum. Attach sound and ample feeling of 1mm thickness brass was his choice. In order to add hard outline and brightness on top of ample 1mm brass snare drum, black nickel was plated on the shell, thereby sound projection has also been improved. |

He clearly said that "This snare drum is awesome" when he played prototype No.5 for the first time during his summer tour in 2008. He played this prototype snare drum throughout the tour0?and brought it back to America, which was still without badge. May be that sound character fired up his rock spirit, he was so specific about finishing all metal parts in black. Paint finish for the color parts are more frequently used due to its convenience of fabrication. However, musical high overtone disappears because vibration of metal parts are depressed by the paint finish. For this reason, Canopus has avoided consciously the use of color parts. But, now we made snare drum with all black come true by plating all metal parts in black without sacrificing the sound. |

We can imagine from his sound that he used to be a metal drummer, wearing leather jacket with chains and long hair before he became the drummer of Ventures as successor to his father Mel Taylor. This is definitely a superb snare drum that to be played by rock drummers. |
"This snare drum is awesome. Powerful and focused. And it looks amazing. I was looking for a snare drum that would give me the projection and attack and also have sensitivity for any playing situation, live or in the studio.
I always said I would have to love a snare drum to put my name on it and I LOVE THIS SNARE DRUM!
Canopus delivered big time. Thank You!"
