    CORRECTION: the shells in this shell pack are maple/teak, not maple/poplar - sorry for the confusion!
    A royal blue finish and A&F's exclusive thin maple-poplar shells endow the Maple Club Chandler shell pack with a dazzling presentation and a meaty, focused tone. Inside each shell you'll find A&F's "reverse baseball bat" rounded-outer edges and reinforcement ring-less shell construction, together exhibiting a warm punch and broadband sustain that comes straight out of post-war America. Coordinating wood hoops provide an heirloom look and unlock a beautifully warm, enveloping nearfield response from behind the kit. Additionally, a full set of A&F's homespun antique hardware and premium Remo heads give the Maple Club Chandler all the appeal of a vintage kit with the trueness and integrity of a modern design.

    The comments here crack me up. Nearly all of the negative comments have never played an A&F kit or heard one in person. I realize that most even couldn’t afford them anyways and they are not for everyone. I absolutely love mine and I have owned just about every high end drum brand there is. For all the naysayers I want you to please consider this, Nick does a ton of these review videos for all different brands. Yes he is a phenomenal drummer but yes he is also a salesperson. But when he starts playing this kit at the 11:50 mark in the video, listen to all the vocal outbursts he does. Also check out that smile on his face. For someone who’s job it is to play all these drums to make you want to buy them, he sure is loving playing on these. He doesn’t do that for every kit for sure.

    Cool drums but honestly some of the most overpriced for what they sound like. Give me a yamaha phx or tama star or sonor sq2 and you'd still save money. Just no comparison. If these were like 2 to 3k I could maybe understand but not for 5k. Jeez.

    Great playing. Nick is a great spokesperson and great musician. These drums are cool, but the price is way outta control. The sound is kinda unique, which can be good and bad. If you have money to burn and want the kit as a prestige type thing, more power to you. For working drummers and most struggling musicians, not an option IMO.
