Mmm good question, you may want to consider the superkick 1 it's a less ply than the 2, I myself always have the kick miced so not sure. All I can tell you in my experience the Aquarian bass drum heads just work for me.
Even the sound in the basement un-miked sounds great, good punch and accent on the kick. It's always the sound I was after in my younger years but never achieved, now that I'm older I wish I had found or had the drum head, so I'm telling you these are the sh&*t. I've been drumming for many years and have experience. If I can save you money to get what you are looking for for in a great drum head this is it.
They just seem to work.
