Kitano and Canopus Metal Shell Snare Drums

G'day to you all from Perth, Western Australia!

Do any of you know anything about these Japanese manufacturers? Are their shells, for example, seamless? How do their products compare with the products made by other custom metal drum manufacturers?

Have any of you been lucky enough to compare a Kitano titanium to a Dunnett titanium?

Any responses and/or links to relevant sites will be appreciated.

Cheers.

i've never played on a canopus or dunnett drum, but i do know they're

supposed to be top notch quality, and will both cost you an arm and a leg.

I believe their shells are indeed seamless. You can't really go wrong with either of those brands. They are very good quality. Both of them are probably comparable to the Dunnett snares.
