Here we have an incredible Canopus Zelkova Series 14 x 5.5 1ply Walnut Shell. These drums are now discontinued, this is an excellent opportunity for anyone who missed out during the original production run. The sound character of walnut is mellow and dry. Resonance after the attack is short, but the sound is very sharp. The sound seems as though it has already been equalized. The rim shot of a Walnut snare has an amazing crack that many feel is superior to those of other shell materials. This superior crack makes walnut the perfect material for music with big-band style set up figures and also for fusion.

What is 1ply Series?

Canopus looked back on the history of snare drums and noticed a transition of crafting techniques. From hollowed one piece shell, to 1 ply shell, to plywood shell with reinforcement, plywood shell without reinforcement, and then block shell construction. Though this transition was in the pursuit of efficiency, each method of construction has resulted in a different sound.

With the Zelkova snare drum Canopus has presented the ultimate sound for a one piece, hollowed shell. The notable characteristics of a 1-ply shell are a deep sound and pure tone.
