Canopus snare drum 14x6.5 inch
If you are looking for a snare drum with an aluminium shell and a classic 14x6.5 inch size, the Canopus AA-1460 stands out right away. This black snare combines a 1 mm Aluminum Alloy shell with die-cast lugs, 1.6 mm steel hoops with 10 holes and the CPSL-14NP snare wire.
The 14x6.5 inch format makes this Canopus snare drum easy to place within a drum kit, from tighter accents to a fuller strike. Its black finish gives it a restrained, powerful look that fits both rehearsal spaces and the stage.
Construction and hardware of the Canopus AA-1460
For its hardware and finishing, Canopus uses die-cast lugs together with an 18 mm lapel. The REMO Hazy Coated 1ply/ SA heads match the rest of this aluminium snare’s build, while the built-in CIM-20 inner muffler is practical when you want to control damping directly on the drum.
