A&F Drum Company Raw Brass Snare Drum - 5 x 14-inch

5" x 14" Brass Snare Drum with Brass Hoops - Raw Brass

5" x 14" Brass Snare with Aged Brass Hoops

A&F Raw Brass snare drums possess the heirloom good looks and timeless musicality of a mid-century classic — complete with aged hardware and old-world construction methods. The 6.5" x 14" Raw Brass Snare is handcrafted from a single sheet of instrument-grade brass and crowned with traditional single-flanged brass hoops to deliver depth, definition, and output you'll only find in a vintage-styled all-brass snare. Hand-formed bearing edges and snare beds optimize head and snare response to meet the demands of modern players. A&F's Patented Patina hardware appointments — which includes center-mounted dual-sided lugs and aged tension screws —and a set of A&F-branded Remo heads round out this one-of-a-kind work of art. Achieve new heights of playing excellence with the A&F Raw Brass Snare, available now through Sweetwater.

Heirloom brass shell

Brass snares make up a big slice of the vintage drum market, and for good reason. These snares have a way of delivering a tonal purity, a sensitivity, and a sustain that is unique among all the metals. The A&F Raw Brass proves to be no exception, delivering not just the sought-after classic response of these vintage brass snares, but heirloom mid-century looks to match. A modern 10-lug design lends this snare an even stretch across the head a pure tone to bring about the harmonic qualities in the brass. Like all A&F Raw-series snares, the Raw Brass's shell is entirely handcrafted — cut, rolled, welded, and sanded — from a single sheet of metal in A&F's Austin workshop.

Real, one-of-a-kind drums

Every A&F drum is handmade in Austin, Texas, by (skilled) artisans in collaboration with professional drummers. They've embraced archaic construction techniques from decades past to make drums that have a unique sound. Since every drum component is handmade, aged, and assembled in-house, there may be small variances between two drums of the same size and finish. While some would classify varying patinas, imperfect circles, or visible weld seams as flaws, A&F Drums disagrees. In fact, the artisans at A&F consider these cosmetic "flaws" to be the hallmark of a one-of-a-kind 100% handmade drum. A&F is so confident in their drums that they offer a lifetime warranty on every single drum that leaves their workshop.
