The A&F Drum Co. Royal Two-Tone Series combines sonic warmth, punch, and lightweight durability with handcrafted precision. Each drum is meticulously made using our patented raw, untreated brass shells, lugs, and hardware, paired with elegant Walnut hide-a-hoops for a truly distinctive design.
Outfitted with Remo Ambassador heads on toms and P-3 heads on kicks, the Royal Two-Tone Series delivers a sound that tunes lower than expected for its size, offering a perfectly balanced blend of punch, warmth, and attack. Thanks to their two-tone brass construction and 45-degree edges, these drums are not only visually stunning but also exceptionally microphone-friendly.
Every drum is cut, rolled, welded, and sanded by hand, then custom-finished with our signature two-tone brass treatment.
A&F Drum Co. President, Ramy Antoun began his career as a studio drummer in Los Angeles in 1996 when he got a call to come into the studio and record live break beats for an “up and coming” rap group. The session spanned five evenings and resulted in the first Black Eyed Peas Album. From there, Ramy went on to record and perform with hundreds of artists including Seal, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Willie Nelson, Ed Kowalczyk of the band LIVE, Alexi Murdoch, Glen Phillips, Buckethead, Bonnie Raitt, and more. 25 years in the studio became the foundation of A&F Drum Co.’s sound, design, and aesthetic.
Enriched with a passion to bring concept to reality, innovation is at the core of A&F Drum Co. A&F is a boutique drum company based in Austin, Tx. Designer, Visionary, & 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. The desire to create a handcrafted drum that stood the test of time resulted in the A&F Drum Co original 4×14 raw brass snare drum. Limited in production to a finite 100, this patented design drum is a rare gem.
