If you’re after vintage warmth and character, you’ll find it by the truckload in the A&F Mahogany Club wood snare! This classically styled, 10-lug snare is built from seven thin plies of warm mahogany and rich, broadband poplar. Paired with a set of single-flanged brass hoops, these woods equip the Mahogany Club with a deep, satisfying punch and a dry attack that sound especially nice into a mic. Trust us: if you’re a studio owner, this is one snare you won’t want to let out of your sight. Rounded outer bearing edges, 90° inner edges, and a reinforcement-ring-less construction further add to this drum’s size-defying punch. The A&F Mahogany Club comes dressed for success in a full outfit of Patented Patina brass hardware ? dual-sided lugs, a traditional “beer tap” throw off, and aged tension screws ? and a full set of A&F-branded Remo heads for great tone straight out of the box.

Thin 7-ply mahogany/poplar shell





Seven thin plies of mahogany and poplar exhibit stunning fatness and punch in the A&F Mahogany Club snare drum. Mahogany’s buttery warmth and sonic roundness come across in full effect in this shell, buttressed by a warm, woody punch and reduced carry weight thanks to the poplar plies. The modern, 10-lug design provides an even stretch across the heads for fine tuning precision. The rounded outer bearing edges and 90° inner edges further warm and dry out the tone of this Mahogany Club for a vintage-like response.





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.
