From the A & F web site: All A & F Raw Steel snare drums are made from our exclusive raw steel shells w/our raw brass hoops, patented brass lugs and hardware, and Remo Ambassador heads.
We hand cut, roll, weld, and sand our raw steel shells and raw brass hoops. Then while leaving these shells in their natural raw finish, we hand cut bearing edges and snare beds, then add our patented raw brass center-mounted lugs and hardware.
This drum is in excellent condition (like new) and sounds like a vintage steel snare drum with nice attack and resonance. If you know the brand, these drums are studio-quality drums and are highly sought after for their unique vintage looks and sound…
