    Default Aquarian Response 2™ Texture Coated Black ??????

    Hi Guys has anyone had any experiance with these heads in the black finish.
    i was just ploding along tamba testing some heads to go onto my new SS Hyper drive kit and came across these.
    even off the drum they sounded big with plenty of attack.
    Coming from 10 years using coated diplomats on the toms has anyone used both
    Pros and cons
    i remeber back when i was 12 i had some aqurian studio xs on my toms and loved the big deep sound
    I tune well above wrinkel on the toms but i wouldnt say hight pretty much middle of the road
    im chasing a nice attacking sound with a respectable amount of bottom end.
    i love the ,,, how do i say ,,, THAWK that the coated diplomats had was hoping the aqurian coating will give me some of that.
    Im A pretty versitial drummer and play gigs from Heavey metal to country rock tributes. so i like a nice nutral sound.
    I have also herd through talking to people that the Aquuarian heads are one of the most stable when it comes to retaining the head in the hoop....beinga guy that loves to play but not wait time tuning LOL this would be benificial.
    can anyone verifie those claims
    and wont these in black look super good on the ss hyperdrive in pearl white
    thanks guys
    Looking forward to posting some pics of the new kit come saterday night.

    Not sure about "coated " black aquarians..question is...are you considering the coated black batters? if so and they are more expensive?..then think about what the crowd will actually see..your batters or your reso's! thats why I went to black reso's on my white kit so show " out " to crowd..( I say crowd..my wife and friends..LOL ) just a thought.
    Enjoy the Music!

    Well I got a 10 and 12 for my toms and I must say I'm in love
    Suit the hyperdrive down to a tea
    A huge amount of attack and tone folowed buy a quick decay and super easy to tune
    Sounds good from medium tension to night ( where I tune) didn't like the sound just above wrinkle was a little flat for my liking
    Very nice

    Aside from the aesthetics, it would appear to be Aquarian's answer to Evans Onyx and Remo Black Suedes. At first thought, I would expect them to be like you said dark pitched and a focused kind of response. It's official, Aquarian has it all.
