Started in May of 2016, Antoun & Family Drum Company (A&F Drum Co.), is a boutique drum company based in Austin, Tx. Designer & President, Ramy Antoun set out to make a raw brass snare drum reminiscent in look and sound of the treasured vintage drums he discovered during his many years as a studio and touring musician. Ramy worked tirelessly with local craftsman, Steve Furcinitti, to pursue his vision of hand made raw brass shells, round, center-mounted brass lugs, rolled brass hoops, leather washers and vintage style clips. The desire to create a handcrafted drum that stood the test of time resulted in the A&F Drum Co original 4x14 raw brass snare drum. Limited in production to a finite 100, this patented design drum is a rare gem. Challenged to create the companion kit, Ramy again collaborated with Steve to design and craft an exclusive wood kit. Club & Field Kits are composed of an exclusive thin configuration 6 ply shell in either Maple or Mahogany with curated finishes, no re-rings or inside bearing edge, an A&F reverse baseball outer edge, and leather washers. A&F Drum Co. kits are made to order ranging in size from 6”-28” diameter and 3”-22” depth. Additionally, A&F released new snare sizes and a handful of drum oddities: The Snom, an add on to any tom placing snare wires, throw, and bed cut into the bottom edge, the 3" deep Rude Boy series snares, a 4x18 Gun Shot snare and thin 1.5" deep single tension Pancake snares. With a connoisseur's appetite for exceptional sound and a beautiful aesthetic, Antoun & Family continue their quest to blend old world craftsmanship with new world sounds.
