A&F Drum Co. 14'' x 6.5'' Raw Brass Snare Drum

Full Description

The Snare

The A&F Drum Co. 14'' x 6.5'' Raw Brass Snare Drum boasts a handmade raw brass shell and is fitted with matching raw brass hardware for a natural finish. The snare has a standard size of 14'' x 6.5'', however, the attention to detail throughout the construction process makes its looks and sounds stand out from the rest of the brass snares available in the market. The entire drum is handmade, including the raw brass hardware. The hardware includes high-quality raw brass hoops, 10 raw brass lugs and claws, each contributing towards the structural integrity and the strength of the shell. The snare, like all A&F drums, is built to order and handmade in the A&F Drum Co. factory/workshop in Austin, Texas.

About A&F Drum Co.

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 existing snare. A&F Drum Co. continue to produce high-quality products to order, up to this day. 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 drum series offers its own distinct character, tone and aesthetic due 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, mahogany and more. A&F endeavour to 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. All kits are made to order, and are available in sizes from 6'' to 28'' in diameter and 3'' to 22'' in depth, allowing drummers to select the perfect configuration and style for them.
