Canopus inner muffler with improved system
The Canopus CIM-20 is an inner muffler for drum based on the original Ludwig baseball bat muffler from the 1960s. Canopus made it as an improved replica while keeping the classic operation and look this damper is known for.
The original model had a factory flaw that caused the muffler to slip out of place. The Canopus CIM-20 addresses that issue directly with three positions that actually stay put, so you can set your drum damping more reliably.
Practical choice for vintage replacement or everyday use
If you need a replacement for an original damper, this Canopus inner muffler follows the same concept and use. At the same time, it is a practical solution if you want to get rid of tape and moongel and prefer an internal muffler instead.
The silver finish matches the classic character of this design. For drummers with a vintage drum kit or a 1960s-style set, this is a functional update built around a familiar idea. At Magna Music, you can also get practical advice from people who play themselves and know drum parts and accessories.
Backed by use on restored 1960s kits
In the supplied product information, Gary Astridge, historian and caretaker of Ringo Starr's Beatles era drum kits, mentions this improved Canopus version as a replacement on a restored vintage 1960s Ludwig drum set that he uses for performances. In his experience, the muffler looks the same and works the same as the original, with the major difference that the three settings really stay in place.
That makes the Canopus CIM-20 especially appealing if you want to keep the classic baseball bat idea, but in a version that stays put more effectively in real playing situations.
