One thing's for sure at there is always something for every Drummer! A&F is truly a work of art, each model having similar DNA, but like family, they are all different. I normally don't watch each and every drum video that comes along; however, if it's a DCP video, I'm sure to watch because there are lessons to learn, drums to review, and sounds to emulate, and always entertaining! Always wear earbuds or headphones, otherwise you'll be missing out.... Merry CHRISTmas Y'all!!!

The take away after watching this video is that you can't go wrong no matter which A&F snare you choose. All of them sound and look incredible!

[davidmaraman]

Wow! Really digging the sounds from these A&F snares. That drummer/percussionist/sales rep was a perfect choice to demo all the snares.
Thanks for posting this!

[davidsuprenant]

These snares are killer.The sound is just incredible, all of them, !! But that 14x7 bronze oh my god.!!! That's very special to my ears.

[dugjay]

I never thought a snare could sound any better than the Ludwig Black Beauty but here we are! Incredible tones from all of those snares.

[rgalindo]

Love the voice of that 14x6.5 raw steel model! ✊

[KGTv]

These drums are not only gorgeous, but sound absolutely amazing. That bronze was out of this world

Amazing snares.
Very very impressed.

I live in Austin, Texas where A&F Drums are made and I personally know Ramy Antoun who makes these beautiful drums. He invited me back in 2016 to play one of the maple kits at his studio and I played the 6.5x14 Raw Brass which I want. All of his drums sound amazing. I just need to save up for a long time to afford one. They all sound incredible.

Jaw dropping snares- all of them…pure tone and inspiration!!!

[MrJspowers]

I LOVE that y’all include the room mics. I rarely play micd up and these videos are the most accurate representation, to me, of what a drum will sound like when I play it. So helpful!

[Tankerbell]

I wanted to thank you guys for changing up the mixing. I'm sure you guys get a lot of love, but I had to tell you that the work you put into it is much appreciated. This is often missing from most demo videos!

[bacobill]

I am blown away.. These drums are masterpieces on all levels from looks to performance.. My personal favorite is the Maple Club Snare 14x5" which actually surprised me considering the competition.. The Raw Steel 8-lug was a close second.. TY

[brandonbuell]

Really love the multiple mic "angles", so to speak! That helps understand what the drum sounds like so much. Thanks!

[Yonmaclarin]

As much as I love the look and sound of these drums, the faces that the drummer is making at the end of each of his sets are top competitors. 😄

[SaS-Music]

Great... Well past midnight. I’m tired, need sleep and need to get up early. Just a quick check of my email (via Youtube) and I find this. How am I supposed to get to sleep now? Fantastic snares presented with perfection. Thanks DCP!

[alessandrorossini]

The tone quality consistency throughout the whole range leaves me speechless... attack, body, dynamic range, sensitivity, clarity, overtones balance, even the most "dangerous" brass piccolo sounds cracky but sweet and balanced, really awesome products. Kudos to the drummer.

[joshkirkwoodrealty]

Just take my money now! I want four of these immediately

[JamieStrowhiro]

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. This video was great. (nice playing too!) That raw brass really did it for me.

[cosmokramer]

Most demos of these snares sound bad, people have the wires loose and tuned low and honky.. you guys nailed it and did them justice! Kudos.
