A&F Drum Co.
Raw brass, copper, and aluminum drums from Texas
Ramy Antoun's A&F builds drums that look like hardware-store objects and sound like nothing else: raw rolled brass, copper, and aluminum shells, whitewashed maple, and the small Pancake and Field Drum formats. The finishes are left to patina rather than plated.

A&F Pancake Snare
Percussion · United States
The Pancake is a shallow snare — often under two inches deep — designed to sit beside a main drum for a high, sharp accent, and it turned into one of A&F's most copied formats.
-
A&F Raw Brass Snare
Percussion · United States
A&F's raw brass snares ship unlacquered so the shell darkens with handling, and the drums are built with single-flange hoops and minimal hardware. They are as much objects as instruments, which is the point.
