CANOPUS | Snare Drum | Hammered Bronze | 14"x6.5"

Canopus Hammered Bronze 14" x 6.5" – HBZ-1455

Professional bronze power with the tonal versatility of a wooden snare.

The Canopus Hammered Bronze combines the rich, full-bodied character of bronze with exceptional sensitivity and tonal detail. Its carefully hammered shell controls complex overtones, producing a richer, warmer and more focused tone while retaining the natural power and projection expected from a professional metal snare.

The result is unusually versatile for a bronze shell. With a wide frequency range and complex tonal character comparable to a quality wooden snare, it responds with warmth and depth at lower dynamics while delivering powerful projection and definition when played harder.

The substantial 6.5" shell depth gives the HBZ-1455 an imposing presence, delivering a deep, authoritative backbeat without losing sensitivity or clarity. It is equally suited to demanding studio sessions, live performance and players looking for a snare with genuine tonal character.

Canopus' attention to shell construction, hammering, bearing edges and overall hardware specification ensures this is far more than a standard bronze snare. It is a high-build-quality professional instrument designed to offer both power and musicality.
