The A&F Drum Co. 18'' x 4'' Gun Shot Snare Drum features a unique handmade brass shell, with wood hoops, raw brass hardware and a raw/natural finish. The drum provides an explosive attack and projection, allowing it to punch its way to the forefront of any mix. The Gun Shot snare includes high-quality, raw brass floor tom legs so you can mount the snare in the most convenient position within your setup. The legs also allow you to use the Gun Shot Snare as a secondary snare, whilst your primary snare sits in your snare stand. The snare, like all A&F drums, is built to order and handmade in the A&F Drum Co. factory/workshop in Austin, Texas. Never before has a snare offered so much in the way of tonal quality, which is why the Gun Shot Snare Drum is perfect for use either on stage or in the studio. It will cut straight through any mix, producing a microphone-ready sound, straight out of the box.
Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, A&F Drum Co. snares are available in a range of unique sizes and styles, all offering high-end quality and aesthetic to accompany the astonishing tone which all A&F drums produce. All snares feature patented raw brass shells and hardware and include high-quality Remo Ambassador Heads for unprecedented response and sensitivity. The brass shells are cut, rolled, welded, sanded and treated with the patented A&F oxidising formula to kick start the patina process. The edges are all 45-degree cut, with a 3.5'' snare bed. Weighing in at anywhere from 7 to 14 pounds depending on the size, A&F Drum Co. snares provide drummers with the ultimate centrepiece for their drum kit.
A&F Drum Co. (Antoun & Family Drum Company) is a boutique drum company based in Austin, Texas, formed in May of 2016. Designer and president of the company, Ramy Antoun, set about producing a raw brass snare drum to replicate sounds and looks from treasured snare drums of the past. Antoun worked together with local craftsman, Steve Furcinitti, and began following his ambition to create a truly unique, hand-crafted brass snare drum. After some time, the A&F Drum Co. Original 14'' x 4'' Raw Brass Snare Drum was born, with production limited to 100 models.
Following the great success of the snare, Antoun returned to Steve Furcinitti in hope of creating an exclusive wood drum kit to partner with the snare. A&F Drum Co. continue to produce high-quality products to order. Club and Field series kits feature 6-ply shells in either maple or mahogany, with curated finishes, an A&F reverse baseball outer edge and leather washers. Each series of drums offers its own distinct character, tone, and aesthetic thanks to its specific combination of materials and components.
Today, A&F Drum Co. offer an ever-growing range of custom, hand-made drums, constructed using the finest materials available, including brass, maple and mahogany. A&F use the finest manufacturing techniques to ensure that every single product offers the same, prestigious quality that A&F Drum Co. have built a reputation for.
