2021 A&F Raw Handcrafted Brass Samples

Old World Craftsmanship …

A&F drums are hand-made in Austin, Texas. This drum features a solid brass 14 pound shell that was cut, rolled, and welded and then treated with an oxidation process to give it an historic patina. The bearing edge is cut at 45 degrees, a 3.5” snare bed is cut into the bottom, and the lugs and shell are spaced with leather. One of a kind and sounds incredible. Simple Design. Practical application. Brilliant sound.
