All Raw Steel snare drums are made from exclusive raw steel shells with A&F Drum's raw brass hoops, patented brass lugs and hardware, and Remo Ambassador heads. A&F hand cut, roll, weld, and sand their raw steel shells and raw brass hoops. Then, while leaving these shells in their natural raw finish, they hand cut bearing edges and snare beds then add their patented raw brass center-mounted lugs and hardware. These snares weigh any where from 7-14 pounds depending on size of the drum.
