An unbelievably low tone and a lightning-fast response are yours to uncover in the 1.5" x 12" A&F Brass Pancake Snare. At lower registers, the Pancake Snare's sample-like depth of tone defies its wafer-thin 1.5" handmade brass shell and single-flanged brass hoops. It's equally suited close-miked on a bluegrass record as punching-up electronics for EDM. Cranked up, the Pancake Snare rewards you with a lightning-fast response that's perfect for concert and competition snare playing. A&F's Patented Patina hardware adorns the entire shell, from the rustic tension rods and clips to the "beer tap" throw off and butt plate. If you're after a retro-styled snare with incredible response and truly one-of-a-kind visuals, the handmade A&F Pancake Brass Snare from Sweetwater could be just what you're after.

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.
