ok. I've gotten into Aquarian heads and was liking them alot. But heres the thing. I live in Ireland and there seems to be very limited stock.
I stopped by my drum dealer the other day to order a new bass drum head. He told me that he hadn't got it in stock and he can't order it for me as he won't be dealing in Aquarian anymore.
It seems he took on Aquarian to see how they would do over here. They seem to have sold very poorly. Since it costs him extra to ship them over it hasn't been worth his while. So once the last heads go...that's it. Apparantly there's another drum dealer here that has had the same problem and they are also dropping them.
It looks like it's gonna be very hard to get my hands on the heads I like.
He said I should look at changing to Remo. But so many guys have told me to stay away from Remo because they have problems with their coated heads.
I play Sonor as you can tell by name. I played G2s on a Delite one time and they sounded and felt great. I think I'd rather go with Evans than Remo. But I've heard that G2s don't last very long....that you might get a month or two...but after that the tone dies and they're useless...how true is this?
I think a good head should last a good 6-8 months at the very least. Do G2s last this long?
If not G2 then how about the EC1? I played the EC2 before and it's too dead. Is the EC1 a bit more open? And do they last?
