Canopus snare drum in manganese steel
This 14 x 6.5 inch snare drum from the Canopus Session Superior series is built from manganese steel. That material is known for high wear resistance, added durability and reduced brittleness compared to regular steel. In this Canopus snare, the characteristic steel foundation remains intact while delivering strong projection, excellent definition and musical sustain.
From the very first hit, it is clear this is not a standard steel snare drum. The combination of projection, feel and character gives the Canopus SS-1465-SP a clearly distinct place among metal snares.
Clear, deep and controlled
In studio conditions, this snare drum really comes into its own. You get an impressive balance of clarity, depth and control, even under intense playing. That makes this Canopus snare a strong option for drummers looking for a defined attack and a controlled response without an unmusical sustain.
The 14 x 6.5 inch size gives you a familiar configuration for broad use. If you want personal advice on which snare drum fits your setup best, Magna Music can also help you with staff who are players themselves.
Pearl nickel finish with warmer resonance
The hoop and shell have a pearl nickel plating, also known as velvet plating, with a transparent protective layer. Compared to traditional chrome plating, this finish has a slightly softer hardness. In practice, that translates into a warmer, more resonant and more pleasing tone.
Canopus developed this new generation snare drum with a modern, digitally optimized production method. The SS-1465-SP combines the rare character of manganese steel with a contemporary approach to construction and finishing in a grey version.
