All snare drums are made from A&F's patented raw brass shells, lugs, and hardware and come with Remo Ambassador heads.
For their brass shells, they cut, roll, weld and sand them, then treat them with their patented oxidizing formula to jump start the patina process. This gives each snare an unique look. Shells weigh any where from 7-14 pounds depending on size of the drum and the edge is a 45 degree cut with a 3.5” snare bed.
