Maker
Aquarian
California drumhead maker
Founded by drummer Roy Burns and engineer Ron Marquez, Aquarian introduced the Safe-T-Loc hoop, the Super-Kick series with its floating muffle ring, and the Studio-X and Response 2 heads. Its Texture Coated finish is sprayed rather than painted on.

Aquarian Response 2
Drumhead · United States
Response 2 is Aquarian's double-ply tom head, with a slightly brighter attack than most of its competitors and the company's Safe-T-Loc hoop.

Aquarian Texture Coated
Drumhead · United States
Aquarian's Texture Coated finish is applied as a sprayed texture, which resists wearing off under a brush better than painted coatings and gives a consistent brush sound across the head.
-
Aquarian Super-Kick II
Drumhead · United States
The Super-Kick's muffling ring floats rather than being bonded, so it damps the head without stiffening it — a different answer to the same problem the EMAD solves.
-
Aquarian Modern Vintage
Drumhead · United States
Modern Vintage heads are made thinner and warmer than the company's standard lines, aimed at drummers tuning thin vintage shells low.

Drumheads
The consumable that changes a drum's voice more than the shell does. Single and double ply, clear and coated, with and without built-in muffling.
