This 18" Brass Snare Hits Like a Bomb Blast
At 18" across and 12 pounds in weight, the mammoth A&F Gun Shot Snare lives up to its energetic name. The oversized, hand-cut weathered brass shell hits with all the intensity of a shotgun blast, giving you the bottomless depth and meaty midrange of a downtuned snare sample, but with acoustic projection and real-world dimensionality to groove and jive with the rest of your kit. No need to worry about finding a snare stand to fit it; the Gun Shot Snare includes floor tom-style legs for stable upright performance.

A great studio snare
In a studio setting, the Gun Shot Snare gives you even greater diversity — throw on a set of A&F bass drum spurs (sold separately), and the Gun Shot Snare gives you a beefy bop kick drum sound with an exceptionally musical tone. If you, like Sweetwater drummers, are purveyors of the rare and off-the-beaten-path, then you've got to check out the brass A&F 18" Gun Shot Snare.
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.
