I'm purchasing a Pearl Midtown kit for small gigs with a rock and soul band. The stock heads are just OK but I want some more low- end punch. I'm thinking Aquarian SuperkickII batter with a ported Regulator reso. Thoughts? Alternate ideas?
IMO, SuperkickIIs kill even a 24" drum. I wouldn't use one on a 16.
I've heard good results from PS3s and Pinstripes, and I'd imagine an EMAD with the smaller or no foam ring would work, too.
Another note - let the reso ring! That's were a lot of the low tones come from in a small BD.
+1, superkick is too much.
The Aquarian Force 1 is an overlooked but great drum head. Much better than a PS3.
