With its versatile tuning range, dry, cutting attack, and handcrafted rustic beauty, the A&F 3" x 10" Rude Boy Brass Snare has what it takes to become your new favorite musical multi-tasker. The Rude Boy's shallow 3" brass shell is cut, rolled, welded, and sanded entirely by hand in A&F's Austin workshop using old-world techniques, just like your favorite snares of yore. Capping it off is a pair of aged single-flanged brass hoops, Remo heads, and A&F's Patented Patina hardware, which includes deluxe center-mounted/dual-sided lugs and lovingly aged tension screws and clips. From breakbeats to backbeats, side snare to center snare, the A&F 3" x 10" Rude Boy Brass Snare makes a welcome addition to any stage or session player's back pocket.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


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.
