A&F Drum Co. Raw Steel 3-Piece Shell Pack - Raw Steel

Step into the studio or onto the stage with an instrument that challenges everything you know about metal drum kits. The A&F Drum Co. Raw Steel Shell Pack completely redefines what a metal kit can be. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, this gorgeous setup strips away the sterile, overly bright characteristics often associated with metal shells. Instead, A&F works their boutique magic to provide a lightweight raw steel design that focuses beautifully on earthy acoustic properties, blending a rich punch, incredible warmth, and a focused attack.

While traditional wood shells like maple and mahogany offer natural resonance, A&F’s proprietary thin steel shells are meticulously cut, rolled, and welded by hand to deliver an entirely unique sonic signature. They are intentionally designed to be remarkably "dryer" than their brass or copper counterparts. These shells aren't built to blow your eardrums out with harsh volume; rather, they are a sound engineer's absolute dream. They tune down incredibly low while maintaining pristine clarity, offering a perfectly balanced frequency response that is exceptionally microphone-friendly.

Complementing the instrument-grade raw steel shells are A&F's stunning, hand-finished Whiskey Maple wood hoops. This combination integrates the focused, crisp bite of metal with the foundational, organic warmth of premium wood materials. Complete with patented raw brass lugs and hardware that naturally patina over time, this kit looks like a mid-century heirloom and performs like a modern masterpiece. It is no wonder that elite rhythm icons across the globe trust the unmatched old-world construction of A&F to anchor their signature sound.
