Canopus Harvey Mason Signature 14" x 5.5" Walnut/Birch Snare Drum

Description

Dry and Dark Sound

The ideals sought for the Harvey Mason signature snare drum were described as “dry” and “short sustain”.

The main shell construction is White Birch, which gives a dark tone and great projection. Canopus added an outer ply of Walnut to add dryness and to give a shorter, controlled sustain.

The shell is designed with an inner grain direction to emphasize the direct sound. It really is a versatile snare drum that responds well to multiple head choices in many genres of music.

Canopus applied the perfect matching bearing edge to this hybrid shell and managed to obtain a crisp and pleasant sound.

This snare is especially good for Jazz and Fusion styles.

Harvey Mason says:

'My Canopus snare drums are versatile, consistent, warm, bright, responsive, sensitive, and equally adaptable in live gigs or recording sessions. And it’s hand- made!! It’s a must for every serious drum artist and studio. Trust me on this!!'
