Aquarian Super-Kick II Bass Drumhead

The distinctly 2-ply design lends this bass drumhead extra durability, and a tighter, more focused sound.

The Super-Kick II is a clear 2-ply bass drumhead. This 2-ply version provides extra durability and a more focused sound.

With Aquarian's "Sound Curve" collar design, the bearing edge finds its own spot in the curve. No wrinkles even with loose tuning. Aquarian drumheads tune fast and easy -- every time!

Due to constant vibration, conventional drumheads all have some degree of slippage inside the hoop, which results in de-tuning and lack of resonance and response.

Triple Locking System
Aquarian's unique "Triple Locking System" provides drummers with previously unheard of advantages in resonance and playability.

1. Holes are punched in the bottom of a "U" shaped channel which has been formed in the drumhead. These holes allow the epoxy to flow into the "Safe-T-Loc" channel.

2. The "T-Ribs" that form the "Safe-T-Loc" channel prevent the epoxy and the drumhead, from slipping and pulling away from the hoop.

3. The "Locking Shoulder" acts as a "stop" to ensure the correct collar height for the drumhead.

The "Safe-T-Loc" hoop along with Aquarian's "Sound Curve" collar design provides easy tuning; great stick response; zero slippage inside the hoop; consistent sound; increased resonance and sensitivity; and the sound that drummers need and deserve.

Features:

- Safe-T-Loc Hoop (patented): Prevents slippage inside the hoop.The head does not de-tune during a performance and will not pull out. Tuning is consistent and the head stays in tune.
- Sound Curve Collar Design: Allows read more the drumhead to seat perfectly on the bearing edge. Conforms instantly to any shell design. Tuning is fast, easy and more accurate.
- Extra-Warm Drumhead Film: Produces a rich, warm and full mid range sound on toms and more low end on bass drums. Eliminates the "ping" and "plastic" sound common to other drumheads.
- Satin Finish Texture Coating: Coating does not chip off. It outlasts all others. Extremely thin, it provides a more responsive surface for brushes and sticks.

I'll beat a hole in it before I give it up.
Sound
I put this head a on relatively cheap bass drum today. I'm almost speechless. It sounds so good (with zero other muffling) that I had to write a review to make sure others know. I tuned it low and the resonant head just barely above it; It's 100% attack with plenty of "whoomf" to boot. It doesn't ring. It's probably perfect for recording, though MAYBE a little dry for live playing. My guitarist looked at me after we played our first song and said "That bass drum is amazing. I can feel it in my chest."
Features
The muffling ring works. It was easy to tune (I did use a drum dial, but it was one time around to get close, one rotation to fine tune; total about 2 minutes)
Ease of Use
Put it on, crank it up. Thump.
Quality
It's a thick drum head. I imagine it will last a long time.
Value
This head is pretty cheap compared to some other bass drum heads and it sounds awesome. You don't have to worry about your pillowing touching the head just right, or whether it moves when you beat on your drum.
Manufacturer Support
haven't needed them.
The Wow Factor
It's a drum head. It's not really sexy, but i guess with a clear drum head on the front it looks interesting to see the ring from the audience perspective.
