Are Aquarian heads ok?

**error_505** · 05-16-2009, 10:00 PM

Ive been looking for heads, and people at the stroes keep saying to try these heads. I was wondering what you guys thought. I have read some of the posts on here about them but I just wanted kind of a guide for them.

Thanks for any help and advice.

Go to the websites (Aquarian, Evans, Remo) and you can find all the information you need.

There are plenty of people in here that use Aquarian heads, and love them. As with anything, though, people tend to go with things that they know already, so Aquarian may still be an up-and-comer, but that doesn't mean they don't put out a quality product.

Very true. The SuperKickII is one of the best selling bass drum heads on the market. I have one, and i think its very high quality.

There are the response 2 that ive been hearing good things about. Heard the peformance 2's are not that great. I was told the same thing about the Super Kick. The guy at the music store said he bought one on a whim and loved it.

I have a set of Peavey Radical Pro1000's that im working on. Do you think the aquarins would sound nice on them? I want to try them out but Ive always used Remo.

Also just ordered a set of XS20's, cant wait till they come in!!!!

Thanks guys,

I swear by the Aquarians...

but I'll put it this way, I haven't got a great kit, its a Performance Percussion or PP as you might know it. My drum teacher who has been playing for about 12 years came over to my house, now this guy is a real drumhead (no pun intended), he saw that I had aquarians on my kit, he tuned them up a bit, then he played for a bit and he basically said right...where did you get these I WANT THEM. and so he bought a set of aquarians for his own kit...

Focus-X Snare Drumhead 14 Inches
Classic Clear Snare Bottom
Super-2 Drumheads with Studio X Ring (toms Batter)10,12,14,16
Classic Clear Drumhead Clear (toms Resonant)
Super Kick II Drumhead (BD batter)
Force II Resonant Bass Drum Head (BD Resonant)

Thats what I went with. I put the heads on the 1st 2 toms and I gotta say, WOW. They really do sound nice. Rich full and deep sound. Good bounce and they are not even tuned yet....lol

Once again, thx for the input guys!!!

PHROGGE's got an aquarian army. Join it.

I absolutely would endorse the SKII for the bass drum and even the reso side.

But for toms, I've had way better results with Evans or REMO.

I am kinda the opposite of Bish in that I use an Evans EMAD on my kick batter/Aquarian ForceII reso and the rest; batters and resos... are Aquarian Response II, Hi Energy batters and Classic Clear resonants.
To answer the question your thread title poses..Yes ..IMHO I like them better than the other big names.
