Members Gremson Posted November 9, 2012 Members Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've been bitching about getting away from Remo for months, if not over a year now. Been flip-flopping between Evans and Aquarian because, really, what other choices are there?With some suggestions from Chunkaway, I got some new Aquarian heads! {censored} yeah!Coated Super 2's on snare and toms, classic clear resos.Coated Force 1 for kick batter, and Modern Vintage reso.I had Coated Emps with coated Amb resos on my snare and toms before. I can tell the Aquarians are a little brighter, but not much. And... The coating didn't chip off while tuning them up for the first time!Kick made an improvement for me too. Had a Clear PS3 batter with smooth white Amb before. I had a good boomy sound like I like, but a lot of attack and a sort of hollowness to the sound. Now I can get a fuller sounnd and a lower note without the head farting out. It's got a great boom to it with a bit less attack. Perfect for me!My honeymoon report is these heads are {censored}ing rad, and give me the sound I want. My only complaint is the little kick pad that came with the head. It doesn't stick. Hit it with the beater 4-5 times and it just bounced off. I wonder if I even need to have one on there though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, I like to overtighten a tad, put it on, then let the tension back a little. I also wonder how much the coating causes that, but my old coated ambs never had issues with pads sticking.

Members 6topher Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 cool. I like Aquarians very much, especially the single ply z coated or whatever for my snare batters - seem really easy to tune, sound great & wear superbly. but I do use all the brands including Ludwig weathermasters here & there.
