I can't get the info I need from the website, so I thought I'd ask here.
I am going Aquarian for the first time ever, I got my classic clears for the toms, and I will continue with them in the future. I am trying their snare batter heads now but I am confused at the makeup of some heads. From what I gather, the Aquarian equivalent of a Coated Emp is either a Performance II, a Response 2, or a Super 2. That's as narrowed down as I can get.
I want a coated head that has 2 - 7 or 7.5 mil plys. They don't give ply thickness info here and I wanted to know if anyone knew the facts here. Aquarian is closed today, I tried calling. Thanks in advance for any info.
From Aquarian website:
Performance II
A clear, two ply head manufactured with Aquarian’s Vacuum Process™ which eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles between the two plies. Remember that big, fat, low tom tom sound you heard on the classic rock and roll records? The sound that you could never get on your own? Now you can! Performance II™ drumheads were designed for “loose” tuning to get the depth and punch with no “over-ring”. This drumhead is sealed around the edge to create that really deep sound on the tom toms.
Response 2
A clear, two ply head manufactured with Aquarian’s Vacuum Process™ which eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles between the two plies. Full sound, great attack and consistent tone from drum to drum.
Super 2 - A new kind of 2 ply head
They have great attack, projection and depth unlike any other drumheads. The patented Safe-T-Loc hoop prevents the head from slipping and the Sound Curve collar design provides "Responsive Tuning." With Responsive Tuning, one turn of the drum key and Super-2™ heads react
