Description
A&F Drum Co. Club Kit - Chandler Blue
If you're looking for a drum kit that turns heads before you even strike a single note, say hello to the A&F Drum Co. Club Kit in Chandler Blue. Inspired by vintage Italian Riva wooden yachts spotted along the Monte Carlo coast—and named in honor of founder Ramy Antoun's sailing patriarch grandfather—this kit brings bespoke nautical craftsmanship straight to the bandstand. At the core of its signature voice is an exclusive 7-ply shell formula blending five plies of exotic teak with two plies of classic North American maple. Teak is notoriously tough to bend and shape, yet A&F's persistence pays off in a big way: the dense teak plies team up with resonant inner maple to produce a lush, warm, and focused tone with a quick, natural decay. That means you get punchy, controlled low-end character that sits effortlessly in a studio mix and shines in intimate, low-volume rooms without ever sounding boxy or overwhelming.
Every shell is painstakingly handcrafted in Austin, Texas, using A&F's thin-shell construction with zero reinforcement rings so the wood can vibrate freely. To maximize head-to-shell contact and vintage warmth, A&F cuts each drum with their signature "reverse baseball bat" bearing edges—featuring no inner cut and a smooth round-over on the outside. The deep, weathered Chandler Blue finish is outfitted with patented dual-sided round lugs crafted from raw, tumbled pre-patina brass that echo the brass-bezel gauges of a classic wooden yacht. Depending on your tonal taste, you can pair these shells with matching teak wood hoops for extra woody warmth or single-flanged untreated brass hoops for a livelier, open stick response.
It's easy to see why A&F Drum Co. has become a go-to favorite for heavy-hitting touring and session drummers who crave organic, one-of-a-kind character. Renowned players like session legend Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan), Jamie Wollam (Tears for Fears), Eric Kretz (Stone Temple Pilots), and Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden) have all relied on A&F's handcrafted kits and Club series drums for their unmistakable feel and studio-ready sound. Whether you're laying down nuanced grooves in the tracking room or stealing the spotlight on stage, this Chandler Blue kit is ready to inspire every time you sit behind it.
