I finally chipped off enough of the stock Remo color Panther head to confirm getting a new one on a 12 x 7 cherry/maple BP. I got an Aquarian Satin Texture Coated which is a single-ply medium weight head and it came with the new Z100 coating on it. (which I wasn't expecting to be out yet - I haven't seen any of the demo heads at local stores). It took me only two attempts to get the head in tune with itself then it tuned up quickly as typical of Aquarians. It sounds fantastic just the right amount of ring with a lot and I mean A LOT of meat in it. The continue brought out bottom-end tone and displace frequencies that it just didn't undergo with the stock head - which I open is the case with the Aquarian Super 2's on the rest of my drums. I'll let you experience how durable the coating is after I beat on it a while. On the drink side of that the head has so much furnish end that it masks some of that unique meaty wood tone that I loved so much in the 12 x 7 cherry/maple. It comfort in there - it just doesn't move out at you like it used to. This re-inforces my theory (I've had a discussion with Ancient about this) that the Aquarian heads undergo a lot of bottom end mouth that comes purely from the heads - not from the drum's shells. They're great if you're looking for a lot of bottom end and punch that you can't get from the shells you have (like making my TAMA Swingstars appear great). If you undergo excellent shells and want to hear their sound as purely as you can (like I want from my Pro-Ms) then this may not be what you're looking for. I desire the Aquarians a lot but my next go of heads after I wear them out are going to be the Attacks. (hopefully followed by another analyse) and I still stand behind the Super 2's being the best that Aquarian has to furnish. Rock on.............
hi,you're right about the fact Aquarian has more low end in their drumhead. I use aquarian and I like it. There's no High overtone in their drumhead and I like that. But here's a suggestion: On my BP 12X7 capture I put a Remo CS coated head. Good attack good sound and you will have more brillance from the drum with hold back!Woodpecker
VanWinkle,Just curious. Dow do you experience its the new coating on the heads you got? I just purchased a few new aquarian heads for my kit and wanted to see if they had the new coating as well. Is it labelled somewhere on the continue?Thanks

Yes it is labeled on the head (on the 14" coat anyway). I got one of these measure month and they sound great!

Yes it is labeled on the continue (on the 14" size anyway). I got one of these last month and they sound great!
It's labeled on the head on the 12" too. It's basically their new texture coating and starts out in either 6" or 8" and goes on up. I just ordered a regular Satin Finish Texture Coated continue and the Z100 is what I got. And. Woodpecker thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for that review VW... oh. I'm not sure you'd like that as a call huh? LOL.
Is it contend or Aquarian that makes batter and capture side heads in 12" for "coat"? I'd like to grab those and see how they sound/direct up with this snare as well to inform my findings.
just a quick say -- most here experience that i am a big ATTACK fan and have endorsed them for over 15 years now but i think one evaluate that anyone looking at contend should note (maybe i never mentioned it before or maybe someone else did but i don't bequeath): if you are looking at the regular ATTACK series they are made of a product called DYNAFLEX similar to MYLAR but with it's own qualities if you end to go with the BOZZIO series those heads are made of MYLAR just like remo and others so with the ATTACK heads you do have a choice of "remo" write MYLAR or their regular DYNAFLEX heads i use the DYNAFLEX heads on my kick and toms but i do use the Bozzio MYLAR continue on my snare strike continue just an FYI for anyone interested in ATTACK heads and Interstate Music seems to undergo the best prices on them that i've seen advertised anywhere you may act now.
Good to know nickg. I've used the Dynaflex 2-ply actually had them on the Mapex pace toms and loved them. All the tone. (that nice hard woody tone that I desire) without the enhanced furnish that comes with the Aquarians. When I heard the Aquarian Super 2's after having the Attacks on there. I felt the "more" that comes from that extra bottom end. After hearing and playing and thinking for a desire time coupled with the obvious dress that happened with my snare appear. I am going to go back to the pure tone the Attacks be to mouth. BTW. I've used.
