I use both Aquarian "Performance 2" on two sets and "Response 2" heads on another set. All sets have "Classic Clear" reso heads..... I'm getting due for new heads on 2 sets. I'm thinking I may give the new ones a try. I'm hoping the new ones hit a middle ground. Has anyone used them yet?  http://www.aquariandrumheads.com/products/display.asp?id=31  If so, input would be good..... I've got about 30 heads I've taken off sets and most are new or only a couple gigs on them. So I would appreciate any input before I end up with more in my "NA, don't like" box. Just curious......   

Aquarian just sent me a set of the Super-2â„¢ drumheads to try out ... and review. I won't be able to get to it until next month however. I've got the clear Super-2â„¢ for my 10, 12, 14, 16-inch Toms, and a coated Super-2â„¢ for the Snare batter.

I don't know if you read my response to Super-2â„¢ question in another thread ... but the Super-2â„¢ are basically the reverse of what the Double Thinâ„¢, now history, were.

Super-2â„¢ is a two-ply drumhead; 5-mil mylar on top, 7-mil mylar underneath. The Double Thinâ„¢ drumheads were just the opposite. I would have guess that the Double Thinâ„¢ had the thinner ply on top, but I was wrong.

From my conversation with Chris Brady at Aquarian, who said "the reversal of the plies makes a BIG difference" ... I think I'm going to like these heads.

The Aquarian Response-2â„¢ is very much like a Remo Emperor; both are two-plies of 7-mil mylar.

The Aquarian Classic is single-ply of 10-mil mylar; so is the Remo Ambassador.
The Aquarian Hi-Frequency is a single-ply of 7-mil mylar; so is the Remo Diplomat.
The Aquarian Classic Snare head is 3-mil; Aquarian Marching Snare head is 5-mil.

That should give you some perspective on what kind of sounds you'll get ply wise ... plus the great Aquarian workmanship.

Bart, which of your kits are you putting these heads on?
