The new models also come in many color choices Yaiba gray sparkle lacquer, dark red sparkle lacquer, ebony lacquer, and matte white lacquer. They also switched from nitrocellulose lacquer to a standard type of lacquer that reduced the time of the drying process and shortened their overall production time and cost. To achieve this price point on an already existing line, Canopus says that they adopted a different approach to the shell construction, heads and hardware from the original Yaiba kits. This new Yaiba set is their first set that I think puts their sets within reach of the amateur or working drummer who wants to afford a very high quality drum set at a mid-line price. Both sets list for $1500 which is quite a price drop from the original Yaiba kits.Ĭanopus's drums and sets have never been cheap because they dont make any cheap drums. The Yaiba line has been around for three or four years and this is their new revised kit revised for lower price but not lower quality. I had high expectations of these Yaiba drums before they even came out of the box. The very small bass drum on that kit sounded huge and attracted a lot of attention.
I heard my first Canopus drum set at a NAMM show around 2006. I've known about Canopus's high quality drums for a long time, having played one of their unique Zelkova wood one piece barrel shaped snare drums in my drum shop in the 2000s, and sold their accessories. With all the revolutionary ideas featured in New YAIBA, it is indeed a drum kit of unmatched price and value.

Our commitment to producing the ideal sound led us to this decision to use different shell types within one series – in this we are confident to say that we have introduced a completely new concept to the drum industry. We settled upon birch for the Groove kit and maple for the Bop kit. The New YAIBA Groove Kit and Bop Kit are the result of our research into finding the perfect shell type to suit specific sonic and stylistic requirements. These factors all combine to give NEW YAIBA a truly unique sound quality. We are also able to provide a wide variety of color choices including new sparkle lacquer finishes. This has reduced the time of the drying process, shortened our overall production time and enabled us to significantly reduce the price. In addition we switched from nitrocellulose lacquer, the use of which is particularly costly and time consuming, to a different type of lacquer – one used by many other drum makers for their high-end models. In producing these drums, we adopted a different approach for the shell construction, heads and hardware. This is a “dream come true” for those drummers who have always wanted to easily have the Canopus sound. The New YAIBA models have inherited the great Canopus sound and have also specialized and refined the concept of the original YAIBA – but they sit in a much more affordable price range.
