Founded by Shinichi Usuda in Japan in 1977, Canopus has grown in popularity over time. In part, this is because of the many innovations they have introduced into the world of drumming. We’re proud to offer so many of these innovative Canopus options here at Drum Center of Portsmouth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSome of the unique products in our selection include the Zelkova, made from a hollowed-out tree trunk.

No matter which Canopus drum you end up choosing, you can rest assured that we’ll be putting into your hands a product engineered for the best sound.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWe’re such strong fans of their drums, in fact, that DCP has worked with the company to design some of their now-legendary drum set models.
