Description

White Ash was the primary material used for Fender guitars until the mid-1950s. It is known for its strong attack and quick response. While relatively rigid and challenging to work with, ash has gradually become less common in instrument manufacturing.

Despite this, ash offers several desirable qualities. It is well-balanced in resiliency and hardness, with the best strength-to-weight ratio of any wood, making it ideal for both baseball bats and musical instruments. Its excellent bending properties also make it popular in fine woodworking and furniture. These characteristics combine to create drums that are strong, light, and resonant.

Canopus has combined ash with poplar and applied its original processing technique to the bearing edges, resulting in a drum sound with a “seasoned” vintage character. The drums deliver a dry yet resilient tone, with full low-frequency response, short sustain, and clear projection. Playing these drums feels instantly familiar, as if you’ve known the instrument for years.

Additionally, the natural beauty of ash woodgrain is particularly striking when finished with color.
