Canopus ROF Project – A Reproduction of THAT Sound
IN THE WORDS OF OUR FRIENDS AT CANOPUS:There is nothing wrong with these…. They just didn’t pass our high quality standard.We’ve had plenty of 2nd Line Snares from them over the years and they’ve proven to be the best way to get into a Canopus snare drum at a great price. These are highly recommended.
The challenge we are pursuing is the reproduction of that sound – the idealized metal snare drum sound that everyone, regardless of skill level, has coveted since the 1960s. This sound, is something magical somehow beyond just a simple musical instrument. It is still universally loved and revered as a marvelous sound that can blend into any musical genre or situation smoothly live performances, recording, rock, jazz, blues, pop, and more.
Revealing and recreating the truth of that aluminum alloy
Even though it is an aluminum alloy, the innermost details of the manufacturing and production of these drums have long been shrouded in mystery and rumors. Various manufacturers and drummers have tried to reproduce the sound but, thus far, none have truly succeeded. Canopus has begun a project that attempts, by peeling the layers of mystery from that drum one by one, to reveal and recreate the truth of that sound.
