6.5" x 14" Maple/Teak Snare Drum with Rosewood Hoops - Chandler Blue
Maple/Teak Snare with Wood Hoops
A royal blue finish and thin hybrid shell are responsible for the Maple Club Chandler Blue snare drum's dazzling presentation and meaty, focused tone. A peek inside reveals A&F's "reverse baseball bat" rounded-outer edges and reinforcement ring–less shell construction. Together, these qualities give the Maple Club Chandler Blue snare a warmth and openness that comes straight out of post-war America. Coordinating rosewood hoops provide an heirloom look and unlock a beautifully warm, enveloping nearfield response from behind the kit. And a full complement of A&F's homespun antique brass hardware, distressed to perfection, and premium Remo heads give the Maple Club Chandler Blue all the appeal of a vintage snare with the trueness and integrity of a modern design. Take it from drummers at Sweetwater: if you're looking for a snare that makes a splash onstage and holds its own in the studio, this exquisite handcrafted piece from A&F is one you don't want to pass up.
A refined blend of maple and teak
Seven thin plies of maple and teak equip the A&F Maple Club Chandler Blue snare drum with enveloping warmth and a nice studio-ready dryness. Maple's balance and cut come across in full effect in this snare, buttressed by a warm, woody punch and reduced carry weight of the teak additions. Classic wood hoops and rounded-outer bearing edges further warm and dry out the tone of this snare. In addition, you've got low-mass brass hardware to maximize shell harmonics, resulting in a gorgeous, open tone that sounds smashing from either side of the kit.
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.
