Steam-bent Matching Snare for Your 1901 Kit
Would you believe a turn-of-the-20th-century Waltham railroad chronometer was the inspiration behind A&F's stunning 1901 Limited-edition Antique White Steam-bent Maple Snare Drum? This limited-run snare marries A&F Drum Co. founder Ramy Antoun's love for pocket watches with his love of big, beautiful heritage drums. A solid plank of steam-formed maple and a complete outfit of A&F brass/nickel-over-brass hardware give the 1901 Snare unsurpassed tone, response, and beauty. Hand-cut edges and beds optimize head and snare response to deliver a balanced voicing and incredible sensitivity that will surprise even longtime A&F players. Visually, the 1901 steam-bent snare is a stunning tribute to a veritable Machine Age work of art. The antique white shell, untreated brass hardware, and nickel-over-brass hoops all tip their hat to the snowy dial, nickel edging, and ornate brass hands of a 1901 Waltham Vanguard pocket watch used by the American railroad system to keep trains on schedule. Both the Waltham and A&F are above reproach with regard to their precision craftsmanship. And in your hands, the A&F 1901 Limited-edition Antique White Steam-bent Maple Snare has what it takes to keep you right on time — and in the pocket — for your next project.
Steam-formed maple shell
Maple has been the reigning king in drum shell construction for decades. Maple's balance, cut, and versatility suit the A&F 1901 Limited-edition Antique White Steam-bent Maple Snare to limitless styles and applications. Onstage or in the studio, the 1901's steam-formed maple shell delivers the projection you need with the response you demand, boasting a high dynamic cap that keeps giving and giving the more you lay in. A modern 10-lug design balances tuning integrity with harmonic content to provide beautiful tones at any register, cranked or relaxed.

Real, one-of-a-kind quality
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.
